Everything working perfectly except PCI 5 port USB card

[Bunford]

I have now managed to get everything working and running fine on my system. Well, virtually everything.

The only element that does not seem to be working is my PCI 5 port USB internal card. Is there any way I can get this fixed? I have read up about some injectors etc, but don't fully understand it so thought best to ask for some advice first rather than mess my current working system up!

Cheers!

Would installing fakePCIID.kext possibly fix this? Or would it risk breaking my install? Seems like it is mainly for HDMI audio, wireless/ethernet I/O and Intel HD graphics, so not sure whether it would achieve anything with a PCI card USB I/O?!

Here is the specs of the card I have that is not working. Anybody know how it can be fixed so it will work, or got suggestions to try out?

The FakePCIID solutions are typically of onboard Intel USB problems.

Have you contacted Novatech about an OS X driver?

Nope, not yet. I did used to have it fully working back in Mountain Lion and Mavericks though.

In verbose mode I get a number of lines stating:

AppleUSB20XHCIPort - failed to load - disabling port

Which I assume are for the ports on this card?! It flashes through them too quick for me to count how many times it comes up
