Hi Roberto,

You can get the motherboard dongles from actisys (www.actisys.com).
Their 210L works just fine with just about any motherboard with the IR
header.  A few caveats:

1. This thing is pricey - about $40 US.
2. It only supports SIR (115.2K) speeds.  Actisys at one time had a
   motherboard dongle that supported FIR, but they withdrew it after
   finding too many motherboard incompatibilities.
3. Some motherboards have differing pinouts on the header, so it may
   be necessary to swap the connectors on the dongle.  This is not
   difficult.

I haven't tested that motherboard, but I do have IR working on an Abit BE6-II
motherboard, which should be fairly similar.

P.
