/dev/ircomm* are created by ircomm-tty module. I have zero knowledge about IrDA on Linux so I have no idea when this module gets loaded. But if you want it to be automatically loaded on access to /dev/ircomm* - add the following to the /etc/modules.devfs: alias /dev/ircomm ircomm-tty alias /dev/ircomm* /dev/ircomm Thierry, what about adding it to next devfsd? > Using: > > kernel-2.4.16-9mdk > irda-utils-0.9.14-5mdk > devfsd-1.3.20-1mdk > > BTW, upgrading to this version of kernel/devfsd seems to partially solve > my problems with CDROMs, the SCSI emulated CD burner is now found under > /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd (previously it was not).

The entries are created by corresponding driver - and we have either ide-cd or ide-scsi active for a given device. This may be considered a bug, I miss the ability to use hdparm in this case. -andrej
