I guess the most important problem is that the driver module does not detect the card at all -- the only driver whichworks is the one from multitech itself. Here is the lspci -v entry for the card. 0000:00:0e.0 Serial controller: Exar Corp. XR17C158 Octal UART (rev 01) (prog-if 02 [16550]) Subsystem: Unknown device 2205:2001 Flags: fast devsel, IRQ 7 Memory at fba00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K] Now also, I have an Asus a8V and if I have the apic support for uni processors on it won't even boot with the card installed.
