Another thing that may be related to this problem is that I have not
been able to modprobe XXX, despite what I've read in google:
========================
# modprobe -v smsc-ircc2
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/net/irda/smsc-ircc2.ko
FATAL: Error inserting smsc_ircc2
(/lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/
net/irda/smsc-ircc2.ko): No such
device
========================
While the logs show:
========================
Apr 23 01:01:01 lappy smsc_ircc_present: can't get sir_base of 0x3e8
========================
Is this some IRQ clash?
