There is a registry setting you can make that has Device Manager show even more hidden things that it does when you only check "Show hidden devices".

(I bought the PCI 2.0 card because I got a real bargain -- $10 -- and don't have an immediate need to install it. And I got the FireWire card for free and don't really need it either, although I use a lot of FireWire devices on my Mac and it would be nice to have the option to use them on the PC too.) >Just a thought but give it a try.
