The SMC8434 requieres a motherboard that routes both PCI INT A and B to the slot, very few if any PCI 2.x compliant boards do this. Nothing from ASUS can run this card, infact about the only thing I have found that can run this card is old PCI 1.x boards with jumpers to manually route the interrupts. John Capohelp
