I just added an SMC Etherpower PCI Ethernet card. When the system boots,
it can probe the card. but can't read out the ethernet address. 
Is there anything special I need to do to set up PCI? Bios settings?

The motherboard uses the ALI chipset. It has an award bios.

The error message is:

Also, it won't let me set the ethernet address manually.
