Hm, this is merely an observation, but the slot number here seems
wacky compared to the one that acpiphp reports later below.

Did we ever get a dmidecode from this machine?

Also, once you insert the card, what happens if you:

# echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/slots/96/power

Does that do anything?

Here we see that ACPI thinks it's slot 2, not 96.

Can you echo a 1 into the power file above?

Thanks.
