Make sure you have the irlpt and irlpt_client modules inserted. You could
also try 2.3.14 and apply the latest patch (or wait for 2.3.15). 2.3.14 +
patch uses ircomm instead of irlpt, but irlpt with 2.2.11 should work just
fine.
In the 2.3.14 case you need to 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
Notice that this is for 2.3, and you will need a similar line for 2.2.
alias char-major-60 ircomm_tty
