Yes I think Inspiron 7000 is using the SMC chipset. But be prepared to do
some development. Don't use it if you don't mean it ;-)

Have you tried irda-utils-0.9.9/findchip?

# IrDA
alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty
alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty
alias irda-dongle-0 tekram
alias irda-dongle-1 esi
alias irda0 smc-ircc
... if you do a depmod -a after inserting this into your /etc/conf.modules,
then the ircomm-tty module will be automagically loaded when you access
char-major-161.

Do you see the connection now?
