Bug#315110: kernel-image-2.4.27-2-686: irda driver smsc-ircc2 under kernel-image-2.6.8 doesn't seem to work.
Package: kernel-image-2.4.27-2-686
Version: 2.4.27-10
Followup-For: Bug #315110
Hi,
after some time, I tried to work under kernel 2.6.8 and I don't even get
the module to work.
* dmesg complains the following:
found SMC SuperIO Chip (devid=0x5a rev=00 base=0x004e): LPC47N227
smsc_superio_flat(): fir: 0x130, sir: 0x3e8, dma: 03, irq: 7, mode: 0x0e
SMsC IrDA Controller found
IrCC version 2.0, firport 0x130, sirport 0x3e8 dma=3, irq=7
smsc_ircc_set_sir_speed(), Setting speed to: 9600
No transceiver found. Defaulting to Fast pin select
IrDA: Registered device irda0
smsc_ircc_net_open(), unable to allocate irq=7
* modules are there:
# lsmod | grep ir
smsc_ircc2 21468 0

sir_dev 19244 1 irtty_sir
irda 197120 3 smsc_ircc2,irtty_sir,sir_dev
crc_ccitt 2144 1 irda
* there are no /dev/ir* devices (udev is installed)
* my configuration (2.4 and 2.6 side by side, so to say):

I hope you can make something out of this mess. I couldn't find much on
the Internet on really making the driver work.
Thanks, Eric
