Bug#377539: Summarizing our IRC session
We discussed this on IRC. Here's what we came up with.
PnP support for nsc-ircc is new in 2.6.17.
The dmesg log shows the following:
nsc_ircc_pnp_probe() : From PnP, found firbase 0x2F8 ; irq 3 ; dma 3.
nsc-ircc, chip->init
nsc-ircc, Found chip at base=0x02e
nsc-ircc, driver loaded (Dag Brattli)
nsc_ircc_open(), can't get iobase of 0x2f8
nsc-ircc, Found chip at base=0x02e
nsc-ircc, driver loaded (Dag Brattli)
nsc_ircc_open(), can't get iobase of 0x2f8
pnp: Device 00:14 disabled.
It looks like PNP is disabling the IR device.
