Hi,

I have an Intel DG45FC Motherboard that has a Winbond WPCD376I chip for CIR
on it. Do you have any idea if it is similar to the WPC876xL as far as the
CIR interface ? If so I would like to add my name to the testers :)

I have been trying to get a data-sheet for this chip from Intel and Nuvoton.com.
Nuvotron has stated that the chip was developed for Intel only and so
cannot give out any information. Intel have stated that the DG45FC Motherboard
is not supported by Linux and therefore cannot help ...

Cheers
