Check the cd to see if they have any Linux drivers. They just might. Or
there may be a utility to configure eeprom on the card so it remembers
what ports to use.

setpci lets you configure pci cards that don't get set up during boot. It
works like the plug and play utilities do for ISA cards.
You shouldn't have to run mknod - the serial port device files are already
