How do I get a serial port card recognised

When YaST builds a machine it notices it
and it is there in a hardware probe
(YaST - Hardware - Hardware Information)
When I put it into another (Suse9.2 or SLES) machine
hwscan doesn't see it nor does Hardware Information.
Worse still, it doesn't work.
I suppose I'm asking if I can trigger a deeper probe than hwscan?
The settings will end up in the /etc/modprobe.conf so it might be easier to
compare the two and see what YaST has added.
There is documentation if you installed the Kernel source
under /usr/src/linux/Documentation although you will have to do a bit of
searching as it is not all ways logical where they put the details.
There are a couple of serial utilities on the distribution from memory but I
doubt they will help.
