Actisys IrDA Device

[Scott S. <sc...@we...>]

Hello,

    I'm having some issues with the lirc-serial driver on Fedora Core 6. 
I put this line into my /etc/modprobe.conf

alias char-major-61 lirc_serial

When I try to mod probe for lirc_serial (modprobe lirc_serial) I get 
this this response:

FATAL: Error inserting lirc_serial 
(/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/kernel/drivers/input/lirc/lirc_serial.ko): 
Device or resource busy

That I can tell the serial port that the Actisys is not in use at all. 
and I don't even have a /dev/lirc item in the machine. I do have the 
/dev/lircd when the daemon is running. The lircd daemon crashes when I 
try to run anything that uses it because I don't have a device that can 
use it.

I am using the RPMs for all of my lirc install. Does anyone know a fix 
for this and am I using the correct driver? I am just guessing that it's 
the serial one because my Actisys is the serial one not the USB one.

Any would be great! Thanks in advance,

Scott
