There is only one card. It is Sigmatel. I found it on the mobo. It is 
very small. Sigmatel was bought out by IDT. In windows software and 
drivers for the Sigmatel chip have to be installed in a particular order 
or it won't work correctly. If things are not done in the correct order 
the only solution is to reinstall and then install the software and 
drivers for Sigmatel in the correct order. I suspect same is true under 
Linux.
