Netgear WG311T PCI card not working on Asus K8S-MX mobo

Same as title,

I have a friend who has an Asus K8S-MX mobo, and everytime we put the Netgear WG311T pci card in, it flat out refuses to boot, no BIOS beeps, nada,
strange thing is, i put the card in once and got it to boot , but on restart, refused to boot again, he flashed the BIOS to the latest revision, but still nothing

what can the problem be?

Thanks,

Try a different PCI slot?

yep, he has a ide-sata convertor card in it but i swapped it round and still no luck

Ok put the IDE converter card in one PCI slot (without the network card in) then boot the machine up then try the other PCI slot and do the same. Still without the network card in. Hopefully this should rule out its the PCI slot that is the problem.
