I have several machines running Debian on aging 1740A cards. You need to run
the EISA configuration utility (usually provided on floppy with the system)
and change the configuration of the card. There are two different operating
modes. You're in standard, not in enhanced mode. The Linux driver only
supports enhanced mode. It's not clear to me why anyone ran in standard mode,
but all of my cards showed up that way, too.
Two notes. First, the Linux kernel driver only supports one 1740 card, even
though other OS's allow multiple cards. This has annoyed me once in a while
but not enough to fix the driver. Second, the 1740 is a fairly solid card,
but it's *not* as fast as some of the other available EISA cards.
