[solved] 'enable' parallel port card

Hi all,

I am having trouble using a PCIe parallel port card (Sunix 5008) with a HP Z240. I have successfully used this card with other machines, where "/dev/parport0" does not appear initially but works fine after I add something like "options parport_pc io=0xd030 irq=11,auto" to a file in /etc/modprobe.d.

However, when I use "lspci -vv" to find out the IO and IRQ to use, it says that it is "disabled":

...
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 255
Region 1: I/O ports at 3028 [disabled] [size=8]
Region 2: I/O ports at 3020 [disabled] [size=8]
Region 3: I/O ports at 3000 [disabled] [size=32]
...

I can't find any settings in the BIOS relating to this.

Does anyone have any ideas on what might be going wrong or on how to further troubleshoot? Thanks!

Re: [solved] 'enable' parallel port card

I found that I could enable it by setting /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:03:00.0/enable to 1.
