Can I use ASUS USB card on a DFI motherboard?

I have a DFI K6BV3+ motherboard, which have USB support onboard but doesn't come with the card-edge bracket. And I also have a couple of ASUS USB card-edge brackets that comes with some ASUS motherboards (USB/MIR rev1.11, USB3P rev1.00).

What I am wondering is that if they are supposed to be compatible, so that I can use the ASUS USB bracket on the DFI motherboard? The pins on the motherboards looks the same.

P.S. I tried it before but at that time it didn't seem to work. So I'd like to make sure whether I was missing something or it really isn't compatible.

This site goes into the subject in depth.  Highly recommended.  I used it to fix my USB up.

First check your USB controller is being seen in device manager, it should be there whether you have the cables installed or not. If it is not try enabling it either in BIOS setup or with an onboard jumper depending on how your mobo does it. If it is enabled and still not being seen, try installing the latest motherboard driver package. Now try messing with the cables.

BTW I assume you are using at least win 95b with USB support package installed?
