[mythtv-users] serial ports

[brian boyle]

Hey folks.

   I just recently replaced my backend server with something newer and much
more robust (P4D 3gig with a gig of ram and 1.25 terabytes of storage). i am
very happy with the system except the fact that many new motherboards only
come with one serial port. this is the case for me and this is a problem as
i am feeding my two PVR-250's from my two satellite receivers and i need the
second port to change channels on the second receiver. i bought a startech
pci serial port card, but i am having trouble with it. I spoke with them and
they did not have a lot to day about it and i am hoping someone here will be
able to help. when i do an LSPCI i get the following

 06:02.0 Serial controller: NetMos Technology PCI 9835 Multi-I/O Controller
(rev 01) (prog-if 02 [16550])
        Subsystem: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic Unknown device 0001
        Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 17
        I/O ports at 1070 [size=8]
        I/O ports at 1068 [size=8]
        I/O ports at 1060 [size=8]
        I/O ports at 1058 [size=8]
        I/O ports at 1050 [size=8]
        I/O ports at 1040 [size]

this makes me believe that the OS is aware of the card and it is just not
installing the drivers. i am including a list of /proc/modules just in case
it helps.

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
