This is my sequence:
------------------------------------------
biit ~ # setserial /dev/ttyS2 uart none
/dev/ttyS2: No such device or address
biit ~ # /sbin/modprobe smsc_ircc2
FATAL: Error inserting smsc_ircc2
(/lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/net/irda/smsc-ircc2.ko):
No such device
------------------------------------------

When i execute the next sentence:
-------------------------------------------
biit ~ # irattach irda0 -s
-------------------------------------------

This is what appear into syslog:
-------------------------------------------
Sep  2 21:53:04 localhost irattach: executing: '/sbin/modprobe irda0'
Sep  2 21:53:04 localhost irattach: + FATAL: Module irda0 not found.
Sep  2 21:53:04 localhost irattach: Trying to load module irda0 exited

Sep  2 21:53:04 localhost irattach: executing: 'echo biit >

Sep  2 21:53:04 localhost irattach: executing: 'echo 1 >

Sep  2 21:53:04 localhost irattach: Starting device irda0

Sep  2 21:53:04 localhost irattach: ioctl(SIOCGIFFLAGS): No such device

----------------------------------------------

I have the irda module:
----------------------------------------------
biit ~ # irattach irda -s
Could not get device name list.
