Are you sure you did download and install the last version? You have to
trust Hiroshi from his web site to get the latest version, because there is
absolutely nothing that will tell you what version you have. Even pulling
"Info" from the card slip will tell something like 1.01, not 1.05 like it
should. So, if you're not sure when you did download the driver, I would
suggest you download it again and replace the one you have.

Then, if the card is still unrecognized, I would send an email to Hiroshi to
let him know. There might be a newer revision to the card and the driver
can't recognize it.

Finally, if you want card recommendations, go to
