Heh no problem :) Ever since we started getting these cards they have been
the bane of my life. Now they're the best cards i've ever used. Go figure

I havn't seen that error myself, but I did have a lot of problems trying
to get them to work if they weren't in the bus-master slot. Make sure you
put the card in PCI slot 0 which is the PCI slot furthest from the ISA
slots.

I'm not a hardware expert so I can't gurantee this is your problem, but
give it go.
