Hum... This means that the IrDA mailing list archive is broken
again. Thanks SourceForge.
I misspelt 'sourceforge' on first attempt - shame on me,
not SF :)

irport_net_open(), unable to allocate irq=0It does load, but as expected it doesn't seem to work - irdadump doesn't come up with any line at all.
Personally, I've never managed to make irport work, and I know
that in 2.5.X it's worse.
Uhm - not sure I understand. I thought both ircomm and irport
were needed, at least it looks like so from this 2.4.21-pre3 output from my live GPRS link:
[root@dolphin root]# lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted
ircomm-tty 22528 1 (autoclean) ppp_async 7744 1 (autoclean) ppp_generic 16060 3 (autoclean) [ppp_async] slhc 5200 0 (autoclean) [ppp_generic] smc-ircc 7520 1 (autoclean) irport 5256 1 (autoclean) [smc-ircc] ircomm 8712 0 [ircomm-tty] irda 94192 1 [ircomm-tty smc-ircc irport ircomm]
that is, pppd speaks on /dev/ircomm0 - but smc-ircc seems to use irport.

But, the message above indicate that you fed the driver with
improper module options. Try to set the proper irq, that would help.
I would gladly oblige :) but how do I know what the proper IRQ
is ? findchip does tell me that on this CPx750J, but it doesn't tell me anything on the C640...

Also, Daniele did lot's of work on the new SMC driver (smsc2,
available on my web page). Maybe you could test this one.
Thanks, will get back with more news soon-ish.
