I still have the same notebook (HP Compaq Business Notebook nx7000) - it seems to me that nothing really changed regarding this issue since my last posting.
The module smsc_ircc2 doesn't get loaded at system startup. If I try to load it manually (without any module options) it still chooses IRQ 7 which still conflicts with the parallel port.
I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) now; Kernel 2.6.28-15-generic.
