EP45-UDP3 and *no* wireless or pci detection?

[Mickster]

So my core system is the Gigabyte EP45-UDB3 mobo and all of the usual stuff that work fine with leo. I researched which hardware was compatible and ended up buying:

 

D-Link DWA0547: Not detected by Iatkos V7, Kalyway 10.5.2 or iPC 10.5.6

 

So then I noticed that Iatkos recommended:

 

Netgear WPN311NAR: Again, not detected by all three distros.

 

Also on other's entries as a *working* wireless card, I bought:

 

Linksys WMP300N: Again, not detected by all three distros.

 

So at this point, I don't think it's the distros. I followed the BIOS settings from other posts (both onboard LAN's disabled) and all three cards are detected by the mobo prior to s/w installation. What gives?

 

When Leopard is loaded, it cannot detect any pci cards (lspci -vv) and no airport is detected.

 

Does anyone have any insight except for my now growing collection of unused wifi cards?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Mick
