I don't understand, what do you mean "with both power LEDs off", the LEDs on
the Lite5200? If yes, then I guess you have a problem!

One problem is, that not every 3.3V PCI card will work on the 5200Lite,
as of some problems of the MPC5200 with PCI timings (see the errata-sheet):
http://e-www.motorola.com/files/microcontrollers/doc/errata/MPC5200E.pdf

And of course it should be inserted correctly - sorry if this is too
obvious!

One card, that is known to work in this slot is the Intel eepro100 NIC.

Ciao,
