Installing hardware without driver
I have a computer that I assembled it to do some job. I need to detect and install a hardware that has no driver to instal. I have Linux Debian installed on my computer. I am almost new to Linux, but I have heard that I need to do some changes in kernel in order to Linux detect my hardware. Please help me about it.
Thanks.

Hi and welcome.
Your info is very vague.
Which debian and which hardware are we talking about.

Is it something like this? It is possible that the chip controller for the serial ports on your card is already supported by Linux. You check by using stty and looking for /dev/ttyS* devices, e.g.:
Code:stty -F /dev/ttyS1 stty -F /dev/ttyS2 etc...
if the serial devices do not seem to be there, then maybe you do need drivers. according to the datasheet for the device I linked to above, the chipset is the OXFORD OxuPCI954 COM. i would hope that if that were the case, that the vendor of the I/O card would provide them.

8 serial port card detection error
Hi,
I have a Evoc PC/104 8 serial port card and trying to install and use serial port. my main card (that is again PC/104) has 4 serial port and my Debian 5 detected them as ttyS0-3. I tried to make ttyS4-11 with MAKEDEV but udev stops it!! I tried to make them with mknod but it when I want to setserial it , it says : no device or address. Can any one tell me how can I get this 8 serial port card work?
Thanks.
