Hi Konstantin, thanks for your help. I couldn't find a reference to 
"nss-ircc" - is this a kernel module in 2.6.6?

I tried running the command as you suggested, and it returned the 
following errors:

tony@davros:~$ sudo irattach -s irda0
Password:
Invalid module name [-s] !
Usage: irattach <dev> [-d dongle] [-s] [-v] [-h]
        <dev> is tty name, device name or module name
Dongles supported :
         esi
         tekram
         actisys
         actisys+
         girbil
         litelink
         airport
         old_belkin
         ep7211
         mcp2120
         act200l
         ma600

Thanks,

Tony
