This is what you will need to do:
1. List the resources assigned to the PCI card by typing this command:
more /proc/pci
The response will be similar to the following
Bus 0, Device 11, function 0:
Serial controller : Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 01).
Vendor id=9710, Device id=9835
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 11
I/O at 0xc000 [0xc001] serial port 1
I/O at 0xc400 [0xc401] serial port 2
I/O at 0xc800 [0xc801] not used
I/O at 0xd000 [0xd001] not used
I/O at 0xd400 [0xd401] not used
I/O at 0xd800 [0xd801] not used
2. If you need to crate additional port devices, you will have to use the mknod command. For example, to create /dev/ttyS1 (COM2), you would use this commands:
mknod 1 c 4 65 -m660
chgrp tty 1
Please consult your distribution documentation for the specific use of the mknod and chgrp commands. These commands should work on a Mandrake 7.2.
3. Using the following command (or similar) to configure the serial port:
setserial /dev/ttyS2 port 0xc000 uart 16550 irq 11 baud_base 115200
setserial /dev/ttyS3 port 0xc400 uart 16550 irq 11 baud_base 115200
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
