No experience with the PCI cards but what I have noticed with my 7i92H is that after I boot and sign on into Linux it's important that I go and do something else for a few minutes. Then come back and click on the icon that runs the actual LinuxCNC Axis program that uses the HAL file for the 7i92H. Seems otherwise the Ethernet connection to the 7i92H can't be found for the first few minutes. There may well be some parameter that can be set so the 7i92H Ethernet connection happens faster.
