Good luck with that. Digi obsoleted ALL their PCI serial cards several 
months ago. They would not even respond to requests from me to include 
their firmware for their PCI dgap cards into the kernel firmware 
package. The card for the dgnc driver is a pci-e card that may still be 
supported by them however. Also there does appear to be an already in 
kernel driver for these "PCI-e" cards too. It actually works as I have a 
couple of these cards. The module name is "jsm".
