T60p, Windows 10 and trouble with Infrared adapter

[rangell]

I have installed Windows 10 Pro (x64) on my trusty T60p, and it works flawlessly for the most part (modded ATI-drivers work after installing with driver-signing disabled, hotkeys, Power Manager etc).

This laptop has some very slight modifications to it
- BIOS has whitelist removed
- BroadCom WLAN adapter instead of Intel 3945
- Ericsson F3507g WWAN adapter (works great with integrated windows network stack!) with eBay-bought internal antenna
- USB3.0 ExpressCard
- CardMan 4040 SmartCard reader

The only thing I cannot get to work is the "IBM ThinkPad Fast Infrared Port". It is detected in device manager but depending on what I've tried below, it either cannot load the drivers or says it has invalid access to memory.

- I've tried enabling and disabling the device in BIOS
- I've tried disabling serial port, modem and parallel ports in BIOS
- I've tried manually changing DMA and IRQ, both in Windows and Device Manager

The drivers for the device are supplied automatically through Windows Update, they are from National SemiConductor, last updated in 2006. The weird thing is that "driver details" says drivers should be "irenum.sys" and "nscirda.sys" located in "c:\windows\system32\drivers", but I cannot see those files in that folder.

The unit worked just fine in Windows XP, 7, 8 and 8.1, which the same hardware installed and without any need to tinker with settings to make it work. Does anyone else experience the same problem? My guess is this might apply to other ThinkPads as well.

I'm wondering if the driver files are simply not copied over correctly by the automatic driver installation routine. Could someone with working drivers make these files available? I cannot find any drivers online.

Hi,

I have the same problem, but my T60p is a T2600 processor, so only a 32bit. I have both of the driver files irenum.sys and nscirda.sys present, but still have the same error messages as you do. You can try them if you like, but not working here. I don' t use the infrared port, but it's just irritating that it was working before.

Cheers,

Seeing the same on an X60 Tablet.

Anyone know if any of the Thinkpads on the supported list also have an infrared port? Might be worth checking what driver(s) those use, especially if they're using similar hardware.

I suppose we suffer from the same issue then. I don't really need the IR either, it just bugs me to have non-functional hardware

Rangell, which drivers do you use for the Ericsson F3507g?

I'm unable to use the cellular mobile on my X200tablet with windows 10; although the buttons are available, and the F3507g card is visible in hardware (with no exclamation mark), the buttons to connect are grayed out.

thanks in advance.
