[plug] Problem with Tekram scsi driver

Hi Phil,

I can't help you any further, as I don't have such a card in my system.

The only advice I can give you is that I had problems like you have when I
had a DPT card in my system, and removing some cards and/or rearranging
them seems to have fixed the problem.

It looks like the driver can't find the card. I don't know why.
