Dominic -- If you haven't done so, check the mailing list archive for posts on this card -- I know your question isn't the first one, and I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people using it. Certainly it's possible there's a conflict with your MB, but if there's no answer on the FBSD archives, try a google search on the card, and on your motherboard. Did you try sysinstall to see what card(s) it thinks you have? Sorry if this is all repetition, but I'd be really surprised if there isn't a way to make the thing work. FWIW I'm certainly **not** using the vr/VIA Rhine II Chipset device and yet my card works just fine. Good luck.
