In the bios: Which serial port is the infrared set to ? Mine is set to
com2:
$ setserial /dev/ttyS1
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3, Flags: low_latency

I'm running 2.2.19 (upgrading requires a reboot :-) on my i4000, but
irda seems to be working fine for me. Same modules loaded as you; only
slow IR. FIR seems doomed as findchip can't see the chip :-(
Except when in connection with suspend/resume. After a resume, irda
would stop working, where the symptoms would be one of:
- *no* irdadump output
- or irdadump not reporting any incoming transmissions, but showing
outboing "i-am-here's"
Either way, irda was not physically transmitting anything - if in doubt,
point a video camera at it; they're sensitive to those wavelengths.
(Also handy for checking battery status on remote controls etc)
I resorted to creating /etc/apm/event.d/irda containing:
#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
suspend|standby)
/etc/init.d/irda stop
;;
resume)
/etc/init.d/irda start
;;
esac
This seems to stabilise IRDA. I found that unloading/reloading the
modules on suspend/resume wasn't necessary, and I suspect it caused a
couple of reboots too (long time ago, not sure).
