IrDA

[Tom Allison <tallison1@twmi.rr.com>]

this is what I've got so far...
I did the apt-get install irda-common irda-tools

I commented out all but the following lines in /etc/modutil/irda
alias tty-ldisk-11 irtty
alias char-major-60 ircomm-tty
(i have 2.2.19 kernel)
(I removed all the 'dongles')

options nsc-ircc dongle_id=0x09
alias irda ndc-ircc

I had not /dev/ir* devices so I created some
mknod /dev/ircomm0 c 161 0
mknod /dev/ircomm1 c 161 1

edited /etc/irda.conf to change
DISCOVERY=-s
ENABLE=yes

ran /etc/init.d/irda start

and syslog says:
executing: '/sbin/modprobe irda0'
nsc-ircc, Found chip at base=0x2e
nsc-ircc, driver loaded (Dag Brattle)
nsc-ircc_open(), can't get iobase of 0x2f8
+ /lib/modules/2.2.19/misc/nsc-ircc.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
+ /lib/modules/2.2.19/misc/nsc-ircc.o: insmod 
/lib/modules/2.2.19/misc/nsc-ircc.o failed

This repeats twice and that's about all she wrote.
lsmod shows irda, ircomm, ircomm-tty all loaded.
I checked, and I do have the nsc-ircc.o module in the 
/lib/modules/2.2.19/misc directory.


irdadump -i /dev/ircomm0 (or ircomm1) both result in:
ioctl: No such device
syslog: modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/ircommX


I'm close, but I'm feeling kind of stupid.
