Does not actively support Linux
on June 24, 2022
Posted by: longtimer
I bought this card based on its statement of support for Linux. I saw that I had to build the driver but saw that there were instructions to do so. However, the instructions are completely inadequate without consideration for the distribution of Linux or any details on how to troubleshoot build issues. The build scripts make assumptions based on some distribution but do not even list the distribution. Were Linux to be supported, a better build script would be needed to at least check a few distributions and attempt to detect the build environment.
After many wasted hours, I am returning this card.
Response from startech.comBy Atha, Customer Support, June 27, 2022
We are sorry to hear that you experienced difficulty with PEX1P2 as this is not expected behavior for our parallel PCIe card. The PEX1P2 is currently supported with Linux 2.6.x to 5.x LTS Versions only. Our Technical Advisors will be reaching out to you shortly. Atha, StarTech.com Support
