I have to do this all the time. It would help if you give us the output of running lspci -v and then I can give you the commands that you need to run. Also we need to know the exact model number of the card that you got. We have had some problems with certain versions and I can check our list to see if your card is on it. Also it is important to check the output of lspci and make sure your card doesn't share it's irq with anything else. If it does you have to move it to where it won't conflict. If you can't even see the card in the list then I would recommend moving to a different slot and making sure you seat it properly. Anyhow first step is to output you lspci -v command. I am very interested in how this goes because I just ordered my ir blaster from the same place to do the same thing so make sure to let us know how it goes and take some notes for me. Hope I can help...
