Well, the do have 'drivers' listed on the card's site: http://www.drivers-download.com/en/download.php?id=162&did=93 Which are really just (somewhat dated) instructions to get the card working with parport. > I just ran a 'make xconfig' in the 2.6.34-rc2 kernel src code tree, > the > newest one, and it doesn't have any Symbios/NetMos stuff listed under > parport.

If anything it could be a Compaq issue. The previous post mentioned it was resolved after disabling 'plug & play' on the bios. This post here seems to point at that issue as well, albeit on Windows: http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/showthread.php?t=166510 I guess I'm asking if there is any way at getting at the device and enabling it using linux? Or is it disabled at a deeper level?
