Great Quality NX-L515


Any indication from dmesg or the logs that the card was recognized at
F8
boot up?

This is absolutely bizarre. I have NEVER seen a system without PCI interrupts being assigned when the system has a PCI bus. Possible causes are the BIOS ACPI tables being hosed, the ACPI drivers in the Linux kernel being buggy, or a problem with the local APIC.

What do you get when you do:

$ cat /proc/interrupts

Try modifying the boot parameters to add "noapic noacpi" and see if that affects the interrupt assignment.
