I've found that if you compile IRDA into the kernel, irda_proto_init
gets called twice - once at do_initcalls time, and once explicitly
in do_basic_setup - eventually resulting in a hang (as
register_netdevice_notifier gets called twice with the same struct,
and it's list becomes circular).
Here's a suggested patch.
Cheers,
Matt
