I have a 1x PCI-e card that has a parallel port (and two serial headers) I want to be able to use in an x86 VM (running Win95 ... retro hardware project). I can't seem to get it recognized though. The following is the output from lspci

Code:

0f:00.0 Serial controller: Nanjing Qinheng Microelectronics Co., Ltd. CH384 Dual Port Serial and Parallel Port Adapter (rev 10)


and from lwhw

Code:

                       *-communication UNCLAIMED
                            description: Serial controller
                            product: CH384 Dual Port Serial and Parallel Port Adapter
                            vendor: Nanjing Qinheng Microelectronics Co., Ltd.
                            physical id: 0
                            bus info: pci@0000:0f:00.0
                            version: 10
                            width: 32 bits
                            clock: 33MHz
                            capabilities: pm msi pciexpress 16850 cap_list
                            configuration: latency=0
                            resources: ioport:c000(size=256) memory:f5d00000-f5d07fff ioport:c100(size=4) memory:c0400000-c0407fff


I'm on the 6.6.41-gentoo kernel. I've build and loaded the parport_pc and parport modules. They should up in lsmod when I modprobe them, but nothing on dmesg and this card still shows as UNCLAIMED in lshw. The only think I've found for this model number has been definitions in this serial drive config (and the 8250 is enabled in my kernel):

Does this device work in Linux, or is this a lost cause?

Did you set to yes or module CONFIG_PARPORT_SERIAL which is in device drivers/ Parallel port support / pc style hardware ?

Ah yes, that was it. I did have it configured, but didn't run "modprobe parport_serial"

Code:

[43550.962222] parport_serial 0000:0f:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0003)
[43550.962513] parport0: PC-style at 0xc100, irq 37 [PCSPP,TRISTATE]
[43551.054130] 0000:0f:00.0: ttyS0 at I/O 0xc0c0 (irq = 37, base_baud = 115200) is a XR16850
[43551.054330] 0000:0f:00.0: ttyS1 at I/O 0xc0c8 (irq = 37, base_baud = 115200) is a XR16850


I also had to set CONFIG_PPDEV and run "modprobe ppdev" to get /dev/parport0 to show up.

Thanks!
