Some time ago I managed to get this chip in my Gateway Solo 2500 working. Since i upgraded to 2.2.17 it is broken again. This has probably to do that the NSC PC87338 reports irq=0 if asked in non-pnp mode.

The linux code is designed to read the chip in the pnp mode, I'll send an email to the developer of the code to let them know this is a problem. Meanwhile your quick patch should indeed solve all the problems. take care, James. What do i have to do in order to get irda-suppport in 2.2.17 working?
