Define isn't recognized.  Do you lspci (pciuitls)?  My guess is you 
don't have a driver.  What does dmesg say?  Try to look on intel's 
website for a driver, although you might have to roll your own.  I 
looked quickly on the AIX page but I couldn't find the HCL (Hardware 
compatibility list).  I'd check if your card is on that too.
