OK, several things:

1) I see you have upgraded your kernel since the last error message. The
error message was "FATAL: Error inserting nsc_ircc2
(/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/net/irda/nsc-ircc2.ko):
No such device", So I assumed you had kernel 2.6.22.14-generic. We shall
correct that by changing every occurence of '2.6.22.14-generic to `uname
-r`

2) We need your PnP devices list to see if there is a chip capable of handlig 
the irda. The error you get from lspnp is probably because you should give 
acpi=off to you kernel parameter.
See this link for more details (quickly found by Google):

Because I don't have that Dell D820, I am guessing, but maybe you should
use the `acpi` command to see the same thing if you don't want to change
the kernel boot parameter? I fount this by searching for `apt-cache
search acpi`. It doesn't work for me, because I don't have ACPI on my
current Xubuntu system.

3) I don't know why you changed the "i" variable to "1" in the script I sent.
4) also this is the modprobe that should be executed with sudo, not cd.
So once again, I will send you the updated script, and just try to paste it as 
it is, not changing things. It works for me, and it should work for you, as I 
tested it before submitting. Here is the code.

cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/irda/; for i in *.ko; do
sudo modprobe -v `echo $i | sed "s/\(.*\)\.ko/\1/g"`; done

What the script does is changing directory to current kernel IrDA
modules, and then trying to load all the modules found there. Sed is
used to cut off the .ko ending and then this resilt is passed as a
modprobe parameter to load it. The error you got is because you changed
"i' to "1"
