New hardware generally means new device drivers, unless it 'looks' like
something the system already knows about. I am not familiar with this
particular card but I suspect that it will not work without a new driver
to support it. I would suggest you talk to the vendor who supplied the
hardware. There is also some sort of official list of supported hardware
somewhere, although I haven't seen it, you might check if this card is
on this list.
