OK. I tried to dpkg-reconfigure irda-utils and finally answered all the questions. I chose the module smc-ircc and cleared the "module options" box. I got an /etc/modprobe.d/irda-utils file that refers to the not existing module "smc-ircc" (kernel 2.6): === START === # 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 smc-ircc alias irda0 smc-ircc === END === README.Debian says: "The definitions in /etc/modprobe.d/irda-utils take care of the proper translation to the 2.6 names." But the debconf module choice question says: "The modules offered here can be different to the ones that are available for your actual kernel. In that case you have to edit /etc/modutils/irda-utils (2.4) or /etc/modprobe.d/irda-utils (2.6) by hand." This seems rather confusing to me: what am I expected to do in order to load the module smsc-ircc2? Thanks Mau -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
