While playing around i got it to work without modules. It seems there is 
an conflict if a serial port is configured at the same time, but i've to 
check this again. For now it works perfectly with this configuration 
(may this be helpfull for someone else):

Bios:
- serial ports disabled
- irda assigned to com1
- FIR

Kernel:
- PCI_BIOS/PCI_DIRECT enabled
- IRDA enabled
- IRPORT_SIR enabled
- SMC_IRCC_FIR enabled (depends on your hardware)
- any other IRDA-Option diabled
- serial ports (chr. dev) completly disabled

Thx,
Jan
