SRM is not guaranteed to like *any* card that it wasn't tested/sold
with. That's not to say it won't work with an arbitrary card, but
that card best "look like" (PCI vendor/device IDs) one that it was
tested against.

If you don't have the latest SRM console version, try updating to it
and then try again. If it still fails, I guess you're out of luck...

Good luck.
