Hi Alexy, Dag and the others.
I guess the main problem is the BIOS setup. I wanted to send Dag the
output of lspnp, but it`s a friends laptop I currently do not have
access to. So..
Connection in SIR mode (enter Setup and set SIR/irq/io to com3 or 4, I
think this irq 3, io 3f8. actually you can choose what ever you want,
it's just a suggestion. It shouldn't be a problem with Windoze 95/98
but enabling the infrared port with NT _will_ be a problem...)

Depending on the BIOS setup you have to irattach to ttyS{0,1,2,3}.

AGAIN: ircomm-tty now, not ircomm_tty!
Once this is done, you should follow the postings so far done,
some hints from them (just newer kernels):
Nodes in the device directory:
------------------------------
mknod /dev/ircomm0 c 161 0
mknod /dev/ircomm1 c 161 1
ln -s /dev/ircomm0 /dev/ircomm
mknod /dev/irlpt0 c 161 16
mknod /dev/irlpt1 c 161 17
ln -s /dev/irlpt0 /dev/irlpt
Entries in conf.modules:
------------------------
# IrDA over a normal serial port,
# or a serial port compatible IrDA port
alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty
# IrCOMM (for printing, PPP, Minicom etc)
alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty
# To be able to attach some dongles
alias irda-dongle-0 tekram
alias irda-dongle-1 esi
alias irda-dongle-2 actisys
alias irda-dongle-3 actisys
alias irda-dongle-4 girbil
alias irda-dongle-5 litelink
alias irda-dongle-6 airport
alias irda-dongle-7 old_belkin
# IrDA debugging (comment out if not enabled in the kernel)
options irda irda_debug=0
#and of course later on FIR works properly
#the smc-ircc options.
Correct me, if I'm wrong...
