We discussed this on IRC. Here's what we came up with.
PnP support for nsc-ircc is new in 2.6.17. The dmesg log shows the following: nsc_ircc_pnp_probe() : From PnP, found firbase 0x2F8 ; irq 3 ; dma 3. nsc-ircc, chip->init nsc-ircc, Found chip at base=0x02e nsc-ircc, driver loaded (Dag Brattli) nsc_ircc_open(), can't get iobase of 0x2f8 nsc-ircc, Found chip at base=0x02e nsc-ircc, driver loaded (Dag Brattli) nsc_ircc_open(), can't get iobase of 0x2f8 pnp: Device 00:14 disabled. It looks like PNP is disabling the IR device. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
