I had this problem with an R4 card, and the solution was simple... I had the wrong operating system files. just try to get the correct software, you might get it from the site that you bought the card from.

That's great wheelo, thought i bought a dodgey card. Got a supercard same time, it came with instructions of what to load, the acekard 2.1, didin't, but i'll try again! Do all the cards need firmware.
it is always good know what you didnt know before. if you learn something new, your day hasn't beenwasted. it is always good to have an expert like kittymat around with all the software solutions to hand.
cheers
