How to get a lava pci serial card working in fedora core 6

When you run a lspci -v it will list your lava card and it should look something like this:

Serial controller: Lava Computer mfg Inc Unknown device 0900 (prog-if 02 [16550])
Flags: slow devsel, IRQ 11
I/O ports at 9800 [size=256]
I/O ports at 9400 [size=256]
From this info you can create a command with setserial that you can run via /etc/rc.local everytime you boot your box. For me the command I run is below

setserial /dev/ttyS0 port 0x9800 irq 11 uart 16550a baud_base 115200

Just add that to your /etc/rc.local and you should be all set.
