Hmm, I've just tried loading that module on a machine that does not have
such an interface.  The module loads just fine (i.e. modprobe doesn't
complain), but as it doesn't find the card, there's nothing to be seen
in dmesg.  We have already verified that the card is present in your
machine, so why it isn't recognized by the driver, I simply don't know.
