I received no responses to this question (not complaining, just
mentioning), but I have some experience to pass along in case anyone else is
interested. Naturally I purchased a card that did not work. It was the "PPA
International USB 3.0 SuperSpeed PCI-Express Card 2 Port". Unfortunately I
am unable to tell anyone which chipset it incorporates, but will try to get
it back to find out. When it did not work, a colleague offered to try it in
his windows box, since the card came with a windows driver. It worked for
him, and we swapped his card out. His works for me. It was a no-name brand,
but it uses the NEC chipset, and seems to be working just fine here.
