Hi Matt, |

I'm not an expert on the vagaries of MacPro hardware, which after all |
| 11 |
uses EFI instead of a BIOS, but are you using the same kernel |
| 12 |
configuration with the MacPro as you are on the PC that is working? |

I would *expect* these to work. Is it possible you're using a kernel |
| 15 |
that's configured specifically for Mac hardware, and that merely omits |
| 16 |
the drivers for card. I'd really expect that compiling in the modules |
| 17 |
for the cards would make them work. |

We can perhaps be more help if you post the .config (`zcat /proc/ |
| 20 |
config.gz > file`) for both machines & the output of `dmesg` (with the |
| 21 |
cards fitted). |
