Well, I've tried passing all sort of different parameters to the module but it comes back with errors: ======================= # modprobe -v smsc-ircc2 ircc_fir=0x100 ircc_sir=0x3e8 ircc_dma=1 ircc_irq=3 insmod /lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/net/irda/smsc-ircc2.ko ircc_fir=0x100 ircc_sir=0x3e8 ircc_dma=1 ircc_irq=3 FATAL: Error inserting smsc_ircc2 (/lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/net/irda/smsc-ircc2.ko): No such device ======================= Logs: ======================= Apr 23 12:45:33 lappy Overriding FIR address 0x0100 Apr 23 12:45:33 lappy Overriding SIR address 0x03e8 Apr 23 12:45:33 lappy smsc_ircc_present: can't get sir_base of 0x3e8 ======================= I can't see any IRQ conflicts with the IrDA though: ======================= # cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 3770091 XT-PIC timer 1: 4921 XT-PIC i8042 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 7: 0 XT-PIC parport0 8: 2 XT-PIC rtc 9: 27 XT-PIC acpi 11: 244293 XT-PIC yenta, yenta, uhci_hcd:usb1, uhci_hcd:usb2, uhci_hcd:usb3, Allegro, [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0000:01:00.0, eth0 12: 636451 XT-PIC i8042 14: 9902 XT-PIC ide0 15: 49 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 LOC: 0 ERR: 0 MIS: 0 ======================= I even excluded irq 3 in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts, but it made no difference.
