irda

I'm tring to setup my laptop, toshiba m30, but when i type:
modprobe smsc_ircc2
it doesn't work: no such device
The problem seems to be related with some initialization of the superIO
chip.
I found a program, smcinit, from irda.sourceforce.net but it works with
kernel 2.4 and i'm using 2.6.9 or 2.6.10.
Can you help me?

I faced the same problem on my DELL Inspiron 4150; try adding:

smsc-ircc2

to /etc/modules-2.6 (kernel 2.6.x requires upgrading module-init-tools)
and, or

smc-ircc

to your /etc/modules for kernel version 2.4.x.

HTH.
