Hex numbers should be given as 0xfce0 rather than FCE0h, I think.

Which kernel are you using? Is the driver for this card a module, or is
it compiled into the kernel?

Please also post the contents of /proc/pci - the card base address and
interrupt should be reported there. If they aren't then there's probably
something seriously wrong.
