Something about two versions of the IRCOMM-driver. Not sure why. I have this in
my conf.modules:
# IrDA
alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty
alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty
<SNIP>
<SNIP>
> # irattach /dev/ircomm0

Drop using irmanager. Use the following:
irattach /dev/ttyS1 -s 1
That is: you need to ATTAC the IR to a TTY (namely the one, where the IR-port
presents itself. On my laptop, the IR-port is com2, hence the above works for
me. The -s 1 means "discovery on". Discovering the semantics of -s 0 are left as
an exercise to you :)

HERE you use /dev/ircomm0 instead. Then it will all be dandy :)
In short: Your IR-port lives as a "serial port" (sort of - has an UART and
stuff and presents itself as such). Using irattach, you tie that port to the
IrDA-code, and by accessing /dev/ircomm0, you will be able to communicate
through the IrDA-stack to the ttyS and into the "air" :)
Sent in private since 1) I am not an "official" IrDA-person and 2) the above is
slightly inaccurate however usefull for "the craftsman" who wants to get things
working.
Have fun - the SH888 works fine with my ThinkPad :)
