The SOP is to scan 'dmesg' or /var/log/dmesg (saved after boot) for
drive listings.

I'm not sure if it's possible to request a rescan of the PCI bus, but I
suspect that's the direction you want to look. Based on a wild-ass
guess, nothing more concrete.
Google Groups is often a useful resource. You may need to pass a kernel
boot option to find your card.
Peace.
