Hello,
i have an IBM ThinkPad T20 and i want to use my IR interface. I have
already read the IR-Howto, but the problem that i have is not treated there.
I have already compiled the 2.4.21 Kernel with NSC-Support as module.
But if i try to load the module i get an error (see below). Thanks for help.
Regards,
Yevgenij.

ROOT:~ $ modprobe irda0

Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
