1. One interface for starting Linux-IrDA (irattach)
2. You don't have to do "ifconfig irda0 up"
3. You don't have to do "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/irda/discovery"
4. Killing irattach will do "ifconfig irda0 down" (not easier than ...)
So now you can do:
irattach irda0 -s
instead of:
modprobe nsc-ircc
ifconfig irda0 up
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/irda/discovery
