Hi Jon,

I get that warning always, as far as I know is not important. At least
I'm using Irda without problems.

I agree, I didn't manage to get my FIR to work, even when I seem to have
the same chipset... go figure.

Yep.

Did you upgrade udev recently? I'm using 2.6.17 and SIR works fine for
me. The error seems to be irattatch not finding the devide, that's why I
suspect of udev. Could you strace it?
