There’s a new kernel for Fedora Core 2, and it seems to take care of the IRDA problems I had previously.No more kernel re-building to move the serial driver into a module: Just make sure you do
setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart none
before attempting to load the FIR driver, and everything should work fine.With the new kernel, the only remaining driver that needs to be taken care of separately is the one for the built-in Centrino Wi-Fi.
