As I rembered the discussion on list and after quick look with the FishEye, the install of epephan cards was removed from 1.4 when greg merged MH-9150. No idea about the configuration thing.
Maybe a bug or we need to update the documentation. Nils > Dear Jonathan, > > I'm not sure of what you mean with "the is not detected".
