And you did "rmmod serial" before you started? Since you can use irattach,
you should be aware that the serial driver has already grabbed the IrDA
port. You cannot have two device drivers for the same hardware, so if you
want to use nsc_fir, then you must move away the serial driver. Either
rmmod it, or if compiled into the kernel, you must use setserial to make it
use some other ioport and irq.

Yes, because now the serial driver will not attach itself to the IrDA
port. Are you saying that you then got:

 /lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/nsc_fir.o: init_module: Device or resource busy

and 

 Jan  6 20:39:11 laepi kernel: nsc_fir, Found NSC PC97338 chip, revision=3 

at the same time?
