Hi all,

    I've been trying to get my system to recognize my new CompUSA PCI serial
ports.  The serial ports are part of a multiport 2 serial/1 parallel PCI I/O
card based on the Nm9835CV chipset.  According from what I have read in the
archives and in the kernel source these ports should be supported by the
latest kernel.  (I'm running 2.4.20)  I've tried both serial.o and
parport_serial.o drivers.  Neither seam to recognize and configure my serial
ports.  I've searched google and the linux kernel mailing list archives to
no avail.  Can anyone give my any information on how I could configure these
ports?  Thank you.

PS.

    I've attached my dmesg and lspci output for this device.

Thanks for any help.
