Good points, though the OP does say that it worked with older
hardware, though he does not state what OS he was using.  However,
googling has found this unanswered question [1] where a problem was
found with a possibly similar card when moving to the 64 bit kernel,
and lspci gave a similar result to that which the OP is seeing.  @OP
it might be worth booting off a 32 bit live CD and seeing if the card
is then recognised.   However also worth trying Nils' suggestion as if
there was a problem with the 64 bit kernel it may now have been fixed.
 Or you could boot off a 13.04 64 bit live CD to try the 3.8 kernel.
