Hi,

I have an 80 Gig external USB 2.0 hard drive that has been working fine with
my built-in USB 1.1 ports. I wanted to buy a cheap PCI card with two 2.0 
ports on
it and throw it in there just so I can access that drive faster. I did attempt
to figure out what hardware is supported or not but just got horribly confused
 and figured I'd just try the dang thing out.

So I got CompUSA's cheapest card and threw it in there. The hope was that
upon booting, Mandrake would detect, configure and mount the drive like it
did when it was plugged into the on-board usb ports. No luck. I downloaded
the usbview tool, and my new card does not show up in there anywhere.

I'm pretty lost with the ohci, uhci, ehci drivers etc (meaning I don't know 
how to install or manage drivers). Can anyone tell me
if this just is not going to work at all, or maybe point me in the right
direction for getting this guy configured.

I am running Mandrake 10.0 Official with a 2.6 kernel.  I saw this on a post 
somewhere and figured I'd run it, which at least gives me hope that the card 
is visible:
