Should be OK. It's usually possible to shut down the IrDA chip an wake it
up when it detects infrared radiation, but this has not been impl. yet.
The best thing you can do now is to not start discovery (don't use the -s
option to irattach), since IrCOMM will do a single discovery itself when
somebody tries to use it.

No a patched Linux-2.2.14 or a plain Linux-2.3.x does not need
irmanager. Linux-2.2.15 will not need irmanager either, since the patches
are going in (hopefully). Some more info about irattach can be found in
irda-utiles-0.9.9/irattach/README.
