You may need to upgrade later, but it should work.

Good.

It is in the HOWTO. This is correct for all the versions up
to the latest (2,3,x or 2.2.12+patch) for which the values
are:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 161, 0 Sep 14 16:51 /dev/ircomm0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 161, 1 Sep 14 12:10 /dev/ircomm1

insert the kernel modules by hand before running irmanager.
modprobe irport
modprobe irtty
modprobe ircomm
modprobe ircomm-tty
should be more than sufficient
