 However, you can find a lot of information on that as well as links to drivers at linmodems.org, or then just try a google search, you will find something for sure.
 The IBM support site also offers a Lucent driver for Linux, but I don't know if there's source code included.
 IRDA
 The chip is a NSC PC87392. (took some time to figure that out)
 You should set IRDA to enabled in the BIOS settings, since Linux has no way of enabling it when it's in OS controlled mode.

 If you use a recent kernel (2.4.21 or newer) you can use FIR mode by enabling the nsc-ircc kernel driver and adding a line
     options nsc-ircc dongle_id=0x09 io=??? irq=?
 to your modules.conf.

 You may use hdparm to get some little performance improvements.

 In any case, use the -i option first to get a clou of what your drive supports and what not.
