I have a Option Fusion, as well, which works fine, because it presents USB HCD and USB serial ports. I'll bet that your GT Quad does the same thing.
The card that doesn't work for me is an old GPRS-only card which presents a PCI serial port (serial_cs) -- PCMCIA serial card fails to initialise correctly https://launchpad.net/bugs/80969 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
