Hi, Many motherboards have IR pins built in, all you need is something to plug into them, I bought an ActiSys IR210 one from www.widget.com.au (now $87), but you have to check whether your motherboard's IR chip is supported by linux. Easier is an IR dongle which plugs into your serial port, I think ActiSys IR220+ ($99) has its own kernel module in the source.
