Irlan is very complex:
There are three types of service, there is "adapter mode" where the
remote end acts like a NIC and is controlled by the computer,
there is "peer to peer" in which the software emulates two NIC on a network
together, and "hosted" which is too horrible to describe. Basically you
won't get irlan0 until you have
1) ismodded irlan
2) discovered another irlan capable device, at which point the irda
link will setup MAC addresses at each end.
3) then you bring up irlan0 like any other net device.
take a look at the IrDA homepage and read the elegantly written standard.
