I believe I can get it to change more often than that:
rasputin:/local/proxy/rootfs/home/inktomi# ifconfig irda0
irda0 Link encap:IrLAP HWaddr cb:99:ab:3b
NOARP MTU:2048 Metric:1
RX packets:634 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:647 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:8
RX bytes:5647 (5.5 KiB) TX bytes:12711 (12.4 KiB)
Interrupt:3 Base address:0x3e8
rasputin:/local/proxy/rootfs/home/inktomi# ifconfig irda0 up
rasputin:/local/proxy/rootfs/home/inktomi# ifconfig irda0
irda0 Link encap:IrLAP HWaddr 0b:08:f7:52
UP RUNNING NOARP MTU:2048 Metric:1
RX packets:634 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:648 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

Someone with knowledge of the IrDA protocols can probably explain
this, but as I understand it the "HWaddr" isn't a HWaddr like the
Ethernet MAC. It's instead some dynamically allocated address.
