I have rebooted the whole machine.
I will try the aliases once again.
Although I think the problem is, the ircomm-tty module is not loaded by
anything (only tekram, irda, irtty are loaded by irda scripts) - and
Irda is still working without devfs then.
Could it be that the device /dev/ircomm* is created only after you try
to access it? I will test that tonight.
Thanks,
Michal
