Thanks hwh, |

Unfortunately, the (buggy) BIOS settings for this laptop are almost |
| 17 |
non-existent! The bl**dy thing has just a couple of settings (like |
| 18 |
boot order and boot splash screen options). There's no where in there |
| 19 |
a setting for IrDA, IRQ's, or PnP. My mobile phone has a bigger |
| 20 |
choice of BIOS settings than this laptop! |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
That said I can always experiment with forcing IO and IRQ numbers |
| 23 |
through modprobe. Is it possible to do that via |
| 24 |
/etc/modules.autoload.d, or will I need to do it by hand? |
