I'm still using the driver nsc-ircc on Thinkpad T60p and the driver pxaficp_ir (I have some kingsun-sir dongles and an use for irtty-sir too). Actually I'm pretty dependent on the second one (my phone has only USB host/device and IrDA). If the removal is inevitable will there be at least some off-the-tree repository? best regards, Petr
