Ok, so I need to provide more details...
First, in the bios I can choose among three options
for the irda port: ASK, IRDA 1.0 and IRDA 1.1. The
latter seems to be the one which gets closer to work.
Then, the kernel messages regarding serial ports are:
ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
the second should be the infrared port.
My /etc/modules.conf shows:
alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty
alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty
whereas /etc/irda/drivers has irattach /dev/ttyS1 in the
start section.
Now, say I launch:
irmanager -d 1
The modules stack appears to be:
ircomm-tty
ircomm
irtty
irda
My ifconfig shows a loopback interface and an irda0:
irda0 Link encap:IrLAP HWaddr 69:62:ea:c1
UP RUNNING NOARP MTU:2048 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:931 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:8
My kernel messages:
IrDA (tm) Protocols for Linux-2.2 (Dag Brattli)
IrDA: Registered device irda0
IrCOMM protocol (Dag Brattli)
My /var/log/messages:

(shouldn't there be a 'serial link' or something message?)
irdadump repeats the following:

20:50:41.151492 xid:cmd bab748f5 > ffffffff S=6 s=* meanie hint=0400 [ Computer
] (22)
...but still I can NOT establish a connection to my phone
(motorola timeport 7089).
I start irmanager -d 1 (which starts irattach /dev/ttyS1), I
start the infrared connection on the cellphone,
I do a:
dip -t
port /dev/ircomm0
term
...but the cellphone still does not activate the connection.
I could set up a connection between the cellphone and the
laptop months ago via irnine, and I can still do it between
a winCE handheld and the cellphone (I just tell winCE
to access a terminal via the infrared, and I can type in
GSM modem commands).
My kernel is RedHat standard 2.2.17-14, irdautils are 0.9.10.
I am not sure I need irda0 to be among the interfaces, or
am I wrong? Maybe, then, I need to do something else...
I can't figure out what's wrong, perhaps hardware problem
with the i/r port? Is there any way I can find out?
Thank you...
