Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic

Irda worked nice with 2.6.15 kernels from dapper. After upgrade to edgy irda stopped working and in dmesg I can see output like this when trying to call irattach:
nsc-ircc, unable to allocate dma=4
By the way, in dapper nsc-ircc was using dma=3. I tried to force dma=3 using modprobe nsc-ircc dma=3 but it seems that modprobe parameters for this module are ignored.
