i installed usb pci 2.0 card in linux redhat 8.0. however, i think
linux did not detect it. also, the usb does not come with linux
driver. the box of the usb says the name "ali". is there generic or
universal driver to let it work on linux?. i cheked the dmesg and i
did not find "usb" word. however i found the following statement in
the kernel message
" serial driver 5.5 with many ports multiport share_irq serial pci
isa_pnp enable"

is it means here linux detected my usb which contain 4 ports?

thanks

Run 'lspci' to see if any new cards show up there.
Also try running 'kudzu' as root.
