I am sure its not what you wanted to hear, but I had the exact same problem with the above mentioned card on an ECS Pentium motherboard... I ended up bugging my distributor to find me a generic 2940.... I am very suprised that someone said they got that particular card working with 2.1.5. I could not even get 2.1.5 to recognize the card for what it was. ---Mike
