I'm trying to get my irda working (again) on my A21m Thinkpad.
I had it working once.
I booted into Win98 to make sure that the IR port is turned on.

Here's the log (syslog) attached.

Can someone help me figure out where I should look?
I do have the kernel modules: irda and ircomm in the 
/lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/net directory.

/etc/modules.conf has:
alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty
alias irda0 nsc-ircc
options nsc-ircc dongle_id=0x09  (man irattache says this should be 
0x08...  I have not had a chance to validate this)
ls -l /dev/ircomm*:
crw-rw-rw-  1  root  root 161,0 /dev/ircomm0
(no other /dev/ir* devices)

I have a Debian installation with a file: /etc/irda.conf with:
IRDADEV=irda0
DISCOVERY=-s
ENABLE=yes

It is my understanding that this irda.conf file simply startes irattach


Here's the killer.
When I run irattach -s...  I get a syslog entry that says:
nsc-ircc: Found chip at base=0x2e
nsc-ircc: driver loaded
nsc_ircc_open(), can't et iobase of 0x2f8  (ed: This matches the Win98 
IO address)
/lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers.net/irda/nsc-ircc.o: init_module: No 
such device.

Is there  a bad parameter or something?
I'm kind of stuck and not sure what I'm supposed to do with this next...
