Some dongles use a 9pin serial interface, while others use a PS/2 style
interface.

It is a dongle, but it controls the speed itself, so you don't need to
enable any kernel drivers for it.

Yes this is correct, but only if you're using irda-utils-0.9.5. If you are
using 0.9.4, then you must also do "ifconfig irda0 up" and "echo 1 >

Thought I have made a fix for this already. Maybe it was made after
-23. Sound like your using 0.9.4 and haven't done "ifconfig irda0 up".
