   Anyone know what kernel module you need to get a PCI-E parallel port card working on Linux?

     Did you read the forum post? No kernel module is claiming it. I have `parport` and `parport_pc` loaded and `lshw` still lists it as `UNCLAIMED`.
     
     It's a "CH384 Dual Port Serial and Parallel Port Adapter"

     No irq interrupt needed just add a card

     @djsumdog The easiest way to see is to boot up a Trisquel GNU/Linux-libre live image and see what module it loads for the card.

     Turns out the answer was modprobe parport_serial and modprobe ppdev, and that gave me /dev/parport0. 🎊
