They would not even respond to requests from me to include their firmware for their PCI dgap cards into the kernel firmware package. The card for the dgnc driver is a pci-e card that may still be supported by them however. Also there does appear to be an already in kernel driver for these "PCI-e" cards too. It actually works as I have a couple of these cards. The module name is "jsm". 03:00.0 Serial controller: Digi International Device 00f0 (rev 02) (prog-if 02 [16550]) Subsystem: Digi International Device 00f0 Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap+ 66MHz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- SERR-
