That's because you need to install the device-specific userspace driver ;)

Add my PPA to your software sources:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/roland.dreier/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/roland.dreier/ubuntu hardy main

and do "aptitude install libmlx4-1" and you should be all set.
(the libmlx4 packages are also in the 8.10/Intrepid archive already).

Let me know if you have any issues.
