mika at linuxbox:~$ lsmod | grep ir
irtty_sir               8512  0
sir_dev                18444  1 irtty_sir
irda                  187612  2 irtty_sir,sir_dev
crc_ccitt               1984  1 irda
firmware_class          9952  1 ipw2100

This is loaded by default on a current breezy install.

It I unload all of those (except firmware_class) and do

sudo setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart none
sudo modprobe nsc-ircc

I get the following from dmesg:
[4300083.033000] nsc-ircc, Found chip at base=0x02e
[4300083.033000] nsc-ircc, driver loaded (Dag Brattli)
[4300083.033000] nsc_ircc_open(), can't get iobase of 0x2f8
[4300214.756000] nsc-ircc, Found chip at base=0x02e

[4300214.758000] nsc-ircc, Found dongle: HP HSDL-1100/HSDL-2100

So I guess it should also work in FIR mode but I don't know how I could
test it...

This is an IBM Thinkpad R40 2722-CDG.

Let me know if you need any more info.
