random googling from that serial controller name

	NetMos Technology PCIe 9922 Multi-I/O Controller

seems to indicate you'll need to compile the kernel driver for it, its 
not supported until kernel 3.1
the driver appears to be here,

when you've compiled a custom kernel driver, you'll need to remember to 
recompile it for each kernel update, unless you go through some serious 
dancing with (I forget the eTLA for the magic that causes the kernel 
installer to autocompile site-specific stuff)
