freebsd stable - Dec 2013 - serial card on RC2 , RC3

Anyone know how to get serial cable working with StarTech "2 Port Native
Express RS232 Serial Adapter Card with 16550 UART"?  It is part number
PEX2S553.

In my kernel I tried this:

device puc
device sio o
ptions COM_MULTIPORT

in different variations.

Also I tried in /boot/device.hints:

hint.sio.2.flags="0x201"
hint.sio.3.flags="0x201"

It is obviously a cheap card, but I do have one working in a msft
7 machine.

Please post some more information about your system.  pciconf -lv and
dmesg would both help developers see why the card isn't detected.  If
your system has been up for a while you may be better off sending 
/var/run/dmesg.boot than the output of the dmesg program.
