-The model 2613-ETU T60p (and possibly others) has one of these cards which the linux <tt>sierra</tt> device driver does not automatically recognize (as of kernel 2.6.24.4, at least).  While it's the same device in every other respect the PCI id isn't standard, presumably because IBM/Lenovo use their own PCI ids to restrict the use of arbitrary 3rd party cards.  Using the 2.6.23+ hotplug infrastructure, we can cause the driver to claim it anyway and register serial devices in <tt>/dev</tt> for it.
