In Linux, the 16C95x is typically supported via the 8250_pci or specific 16c95x serial drivers. The kernel abstracts the hardware via the TTY layer.
In each case, the driver bridges the gap between legacy software (expecting a 16550) and modern hardware capabilities. 16c95x serial port driver
Look for a string like PCI\VEN_1415&DEV_9501 (Example for Oxford). 2. Download from Official Sources Many 16C95x cards are StarTech models (e.g., ). Search their support page with your product ID. In Linux, the 16C95x is typically supported via
