Another thing that may be related to this problem is that I have not |
| 43 |
been able to modprobe XXX, despite what I've read in google: |
| 44 |
======================== |
| 45 |
# modprobe -v smsc-ircc2 |
| 46 |
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/net/irda/smsc-ircc2.ko |
| 47 |
FATAL: Error inserting smsc_ircc2 |
| 48 |
(/lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/ |
| 49 |
net/irda/smsc-ircc2.ko): No such |
| 50 |
device |
| 51 |
======================== |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
While the logs show: |
| 54 |
======================== |
| 55 |
Apr 23 01:01:01 lappy smsc_ircc_present: can't get sir_base of 0x3e8 |
| 56 |
======================== |
| 57 |
Is this some IRQ clash? |
