mcs7780 USB IrDA missing from 5.4 and newer kernels
Asked by
Linuxslate
IrDA modules, including mcs7780.ko are missing.
Currently using:
Linux ***** 5.4.0-72-generic #80-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 12 17:35:00 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The module is present in older versions of Ubuntu, in /lib/modules/
Is there another module that currently supports USB IrDA devices with this chip? Has it moved?
lsmod
Bus 001 Device 013: ID 9710:7780 MosChip Semiconductor MCS7780 4Mbps Fast IrDA Adapter
It's very unusual to see a Linux Dist drop support like this with no way back (short of building a new kernel).
Apologies if I am just missing something.
