To use the PCI 1394 card you will have to turn off the onboard 1394
controller in the motherboard BIOS under onboard devices. You can't
have two running on the system at once.
But with the either onboard or PCI its going to show up in two places,
it will show up in the device manger and it will show up in network
connections. You want it enabled in the device manager and you want it
disabled in network connections.
