^^^^^^^^
are you sure this module is the correct one for your chipset?
usually you need a special module only for FIR-mode (Fast IR)
for SIR it should work without loading this module. (the mode you can
configure in the BIOS). For testing purposes first try with SIR and without
the module, if this works switch to FIR.

it's better to start the IRDA-subsystem with the command '/etc/init.d/irda
start', so the correct configuration is loaded from irda.conf
