If the kernel has support for a device, it should "detect" it.
That doesn't mean it will be available for use though. See
below on how to do that. If it's not being detected by the
kernel, it's possibly using non-standard settings (I/O port,
IRQ, etc). I believe the kernel driver check for a device on
it's "standard" settings only -- I may be wrong there though.
The fact that it shows up in /proc/pci is odd though... I
think that means the kernel did find it.

Add the correct module name(s) to /etc/modules in order for
them to be loaded.
