I had serial support compiled into the kernel. After compiling it as a module 
nothing has changed:

lsmod:
Module                  Size  Used by

modprobe nsc_fir:

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

kernel message:

Jan  7 11:15:03 laepi kernel: nsc_fir, Found NSC PC97338 chip, revision=3

Yes.

Do I have to enable or disable the infrared port in the bios to use with nsc_fir? Are 
special settings (irq, dma) necessary?
