Nothing about a VIA chip in dmesg; nothing about the card in

The first and third are related: if the driver finds the card, it'll say
so, and it'll put entries in /dev.
The second is the clue: pciconf asks the pci bus what is available. If
your card isn't even reachable over the pci bus, then the driver cannot
fix that.
but there is this:[snip]
sysctl -a | grep fire
With the driver in the kernel you'll see this whether the driver found
supported hardware or not.
For the next steps, see Thorfinn's reply.
