The dmesg with the B1 card only lacks the three appropriate lines which
appear for the Rev A1 card when it is inserted in the same PCI slot:
IF that is true, your card wasn't inserted properly.
I tried it in all the other slots and neither OpenBSD nor Windows
detected it.
PCI cards show up. SOMETHING will show up...even if it isn't
recognized. The only exceptions are if the card is behind a broken or
unrecognized bridge.
I tried it in a different PC and the card was shown in the dmesg as a
DGE-560T_2.
So it seems that first PC is a quirky one. Sorry about the bogus FYI.
ah.
ok...there's a reason why a PCI card won't show up, which I have
experienced, but forgot about...
Apparently, some newer cards require PCI2.2 spec, and many machines of
your vintage (PII) are only PCI2.1.
I should have remembered this, once spent many hours trying to figure
out why a PCI wireless card (wi(4) based) didn't show up on the vast
majority of the machines I have...finally found one computer that it
worked in...the second newest, fastest machine I had (ok, I got a lotta
old junk).
Kinda a special case of incompatible PCI bridge, sorta, kinda.
