I just looked at ITE's web page (ite.com.tw). The 8875 is a parallel
port chip; the 8872 is a multi-IO chip (2S1P). Judging from the
number of I/O regions, I would guess that this is actually an 8872
with no serial connectors.

Could you show the output from lspci -nvv for that card?

Yes, but for PCI cards it's a different story because the ECR register
could be anywhere, and not necessarily at a fixed offset. Really we
need to tell parport_pc about ITE's cards so it knows which BARs mean
what. I have sent mail to a guy there who I hope may be able to
help find some datasheets.

It isn't supported currently. Judging from your experiments, it looks
like the support won't happen until the datasheets appear (they aren't
on the web site).

If and when support for this card is added, it will be for the 2.4.x
kernel series.
Thanks for the info,
Tim.
