Thanks for advices and your valuable time Jean and Werner!

I was so desperate to get it working that I did a drastic "cut-down". 
Backed-up the system configuration, deleted partitions and reverted 
back to the redhat8. After installation and replacement of modules.conf 
with my irda settings everything works like a dream. From irdadump 
output I see that the system is now using some old version of irda-
utils, but most importantly, it works. I'm not very happy about what I 
did but I didn't succeed in recompiling the kernel. Whaaaaa, this is 
life of a newbie :(

Hmmm...

Luckily I have another toshiba laptop with similar spec (just screen is 
smaller and cd-rom doesn't work) so I'll try redhat9 again this week.

Guys, how is possible that redhat8 and old irda-utils does work even 
with buggy t68? What exactly in redhat9 kernel, or in new irds-utils 
causes the bug to appear?

Thanks a million!
Marek
