Package: irda-utils Version: 0.9.18-3 Severity: important
As you can see in the following 'Debconf information' for my smsc-ircc2 the ali-ircc module is chosen: this results in a /etc/modprobe.d/irda-utils like this: ==== BEGIN ==== # Other aliases are defined in the modules themselves alias char-major-10-187 irnet # For FIR device # Module name has changed for this device, so this is a compatibility # hack # that the user can select the name used for 2.4 when really using 2.6 #install smsc-ircc2 /dev/ttyS1 uart none port 0 irq 0; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install smsc-ircc2 options ali-ircc smsc-ircc2 alias irda0 ali-ircc ===== END ==== It's obvious that the ali-ircc module can't be loaded with the 'smsc-ircc2' parameter... this prevents module loading and results in an irda port not working. By replacing the last 2 lines with 'alias irda0 smsc-ircc2' irda-utils work just fine.
