Its Debian Sarge, with 2.6.10 (compiled my own) I'll try finding it with setserial this evening (left the house without the card - dur!) however, just from flicking through the /dev/ttyS? with KPPP didn't come up with anything, so I doubt this will either :'( dmesg doesn't report anything when the card is installed, not even something that doesn't make sense.
