My friend and I are currently in the process of putting Debian on his TP
770x, according to the documentation 'nsc-ircc' is the correct module. Up to
about Jan 2000 (according to Google) *all* TP FIR systems were not supported,
then some clever bod made a patch, I'm assuming it made it into the actual
IRDA tree (and hopefully then the kernel tree). Do a quick google search, I
think we came across a TP 21x FIR-mini-HOWTO (or was it a 600x), needless to
say IBM probably stayed the same way for their chipsets :)
