The only reference I can find seems like a family of well
supported cards:

It would have helped if you had shown us the output of
'/sbin/lspci', as requested. Now that you got it working, you can
see from 'lsmod' what driver it's using.

BTW
Please check:
http://groups.google.com/googlegroups/posting_style.html

"Summarize what you are following up. When you follow up an
existing article, Google Groups includes the full article in
quotes, with the cursor at the top of the article. Tempting
though it is to just start typing your message, please STOP and
do two things first. Look at the quoted text and delete parts
that are irrelevant. Then, go to the BOTTOM of the article and
start typing there. Doing this makes it much easier for your
readers to get through your post. They'll have a reminder of the
relevant text before your comment, but won't have to re-read the
entire article. And if your reply appears on a site before the
original article does, they'll get the gist of what you're
talking about."

Since most people aren't using groups.google to write on usenet.

In addition try our newreader FAQ, just scroll a bit down.
