I had similar problems when I tried to use the nsc-ircc driver. I also
worked at the source level, but at the end I found out that I forgot to
call "setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart none port 0 irq 0". If you don't do
this, the resources of the IR port will be allocated by the serial
driver.

Once I did this, the driver loads perfectly. It worked on a A30 and on
a T20 with a 2.4.21 kernel, throughput was ~360 kbyte/s using IrLAN.
