You will probably have to set it manually with the setserial command to get it to work. I have an old RH system and to get addon serial cards to work I run <br><br>lspci -v<br><br>to find the card and get it I/O addresses. Then write those I/O addresses down and then run
<br><br>setserial /dev/ttyS? port 0x????<br><br>where the first question mark is the serial port you want to assign to it and the next four is one of the I/O addresses you found. Then run <br><br>setserial /dev/ttyS? -v autoconfig
<br><br>to see if it is the I/O address. You know when you have the right one because the uart will be 16650. It is usually the first I/O address. If the uart doesn't look right or says unknown then try the first setserial with another port until you get it right. When you find the right one set the irq with
<br><br>setserial /dev/ttyS? irq ?<br><br>and then check your /proc/tty/driver/serial file to see if it looks correct. Once you have done all this you have to make sure that your card is initialized again on bootup. Different distros do this in different ways. Anyhow hope this helps and if you still have problems tell us your distro so I can be more specific.
