NOT Linux compatible
on June 30, 2021
Posted by: AMAA
Normal Linux distros don't have the driver built in. The driver they supply must be built on your machine, and won't build on any recent Linux release. The driver is ancient, doesn't compile, is broken and looks like it was written by an amateur. It's totally useless and they should stop claiming that it's supported by Linux.
Response from startech.comBy Dan, Customer Support, July 2, 2021
Thank you for taking the time to write a review on our serial card, and we would like to apologize for any confusion. The PEX4S953LP is only supported in Linux Kernels 2.4.x to 2.6.x LTS Versions only. If you are having issues compiling the drivers, or using the card in that Kernel, please don't hesitate to contact our support directly and we will be happy to assist from there.
