Add this to your /etc/conf.modules file
# IrDA
alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty
alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty
Then do a depmod -a to update, and then ircomm should be automagically
loaded when you need it.
Here is what you need in /dev
dagbnb /usr/src/ > ll /dev/ir*
crw------- 1 dagb 161, 0 Aug 25 20:13 /dev/ircomm0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root 161, 1 Jun 18 13:44 /dev/ircomm1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root 161, 16 Jun 18 13:44 /dev/irlpt0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root 161, 17 Jun 18 13:44 /dev/irlpt1
then make lpd talk to /dev/irlpt0. Please use the very latest patch for
2.3.14!
