I don't understand, what do you mean "with both power LEDs off",
the LEDs on the Lite5200? If yes, then I guess you have a problem!

Yes, I mean that. If the PCI card is plugged in the slot, when I connect
the power, the LEDs in the Lite5200 board for 5V and 3.3V stay off.

--> short-circuit, I'm really surprised, that the board survived, sometimes,
ground connections from the PCI card tend to go up in smoke :-(

Without the PCI card, the Lite5200 works fine.

And of course it should be inserted correctly - sorry if this is too
obvious!

I think it is, but just to be sure: when I plug the card the RJ45 connector
is in the side of the IDE connector of the Lite5200, in the opposite side
of the "short part" of the PCI connector. Right?

NO NO!!! See Wolfgangs mail:

"You may have plugged it in incorrectly.  Make  sure  that  the  front
bezel  is on the side where the serial and USB connectors are - i. e.
NOT where the ATA connector is."

accoding to this, the part with the RJ45 connector should be on
the USB & serial connector side and NOT the way you did it now.
If in doubt, check the schematics and compare with the PCI specification...

One card, that is known to work in this slot is the Intel eepro100 NIC.

I'll try to get ont of those, though I'm not sure if the timing problems in
the PCI bus may cause the problem I'm seeing with this board. Thanks.

Probably not, but it is a hint, in case you encounter more PCI problems, when
the LEDs are on again ;-)

Ciao,
