USB 2.0 PCI card and Leopard

Yeah, I just got the NEC D720101 PCI Express card and I'm not seeing it work for complex devices in the latest build I have of Leopard. What's interesting is that that Lightwave's dongle and a mouse work fine through the ports, but my Audio CODEC and LogiTech Headset refuses to render audio.

This problem is really causing me problems given the number of mandatory devices I need hooked to my CPU to run a business. Audio, Scanner, Headset, Dongle, Harddrive, Keyboard, Trackball, etc., the machine doesn't have enough ports. I'm surprised that a Pro level machine has so few ports.

If Apple could take away one note, the pro machines need at a minimum 2 more firewire and at least 4 more USB 2.0 ports before finalizing the enclosure. Either that, or sell a card that is compatible.

The customer is suffering.

Well this is good news:

Like others on this thread I too have the non USB after sleep issue since installing Leopard. Tiger was fine as was Panther (always have at least most recent previous OS installed just in case on external drive)

Like others I had to reboot to regain functionality - though am now having success with thumb drive plugged into card as each time since plugging thumb drive in the card comes back when waking up. - thanks to who ever suggested this hopefully temporary fix.

As to the other that suggested that it's the card manufacturers that need to get their cards sorted well - I think that that is crap - Apple need to ensure that the wake up routine is fixed with 10.5.2 as it's clearly not my card that wont do Leopard as it works until I put machine to sleep.

Too much eye candy in Leopard and not enough polish to the useful things - used to have keyboard short cut in Mail to access account details - now involves a pop up menu and then a mouse selection - now that's going backwards.. this is merely an illustrative comment to suggest that the deeper problem lies with Apple..... there are others but this is not thread for such comments

Same here with a Equip USB2 pci card. It works fine with 10.3.9 and 10.4.11 but with 10.5.1 I have the problem with the sleep mode. After wake up the card is present (it is in System profiler) but no devices. It fixes after a shut down reset.

10.5.2 and I'm back up and running. Patience paid off - I didn't have to spend money or crack open my machine. Woo-hoo!

After 10.5.2 the Equip USB 2.0 PCI card functions fine.

Looks like good news. What type of USB 2 PCI card do you have?
