I might be being very dumb, but I still can't find where the nsc-ircc 
module is enabled in the kernel configuration. I'm running a stock 2.6.6 
kernel, and I've looked through all the options in drivers/net/irda and 
none of them say they produce the nsc-ircc module. Yes, the source code 
file it still within the tree - I just can't find where to activate it.

Cheers,
