We will need a bit more information about the card. Chances are, it came
with drivers to make it work with DOS/Windows. You will probably have to
use setpci to configure it for use under Linux, and then use setserial to
let the serial port drivers know what I/O and irq the ports are using. Or
you may be lucky and someone has already written a driver for your card.
