Yes, "No such device" means exactly that.  

The inode (/dev/ entry) exists and can be opened, but either the driver
modules can't be found, can't be loaded, or for some reason the driver
isn't happy once loaded - could be that it doesn't think the card is
present, or some other problem.

Run "dmesg" or look at /var/log/messages to see what error messages come
up - they might even be self-explanatory.

I usually run "tail -f /var/log/messages" in another xterm while initialy
accessing a new hardware device.

I'm not at all familiar with that card, perhaps someone else?
