irda missing modules?

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

I'm trying to run jpilot through my notebooks irda port.
It was working at one time, sort of.

thorin:/etc/init.d# modprobe nsc-ircc
/lib/modules/2.4.16-1.0/kernel/drivers/net/irda/nsc-ircc.o: init_module: No 
such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including 
invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.16-1.0/kernel/drivers/net/irda/nsc-ircc.o: insmod 
/lib/modules/2.4.16-1.0/kernel/drivers/net/irda/nsc-ircc.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.16-1.0/kernel/drivers/net/irda/nsc-ircc.o: insmod nsc-ircc 
failed
thorin:/etc/init.d# ls /lib/modules/2.4.16-1.0/kernel/drivers/net/irda/
nsc-ircc.o

Now, the funny part is that I really do have a file:
/lib/modules/2.4.16-1.0/kernel/drivers/net/irda/nsc-ircc.o
I was just there looking at it.

I've isolated the problem to 'setserial'
How do I just get rid of this once and for all.  It seems I have to keep 
manually doing "setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart none port 0 irq 0
