Definitely!

There seem to be a number of issues with irnet.  Irnet doesn't work at all
when I build all the drivers into the kernel.   'cat /dev/irnet' results in
"No such device".  This is not a big deal but I thought it might be useful
info.

If I use a module for irnet things go much better, but not nearly perfect.
I can telnet from W2K client to a board.  This seems to be robust.

But when the client is on my board telnet works fine only for commands that
don't output many bytes, if more than 44 data bytes (!?) are sent back (IE:
echo 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345) then the connection
hangs.  I think that this is due to a problem on the telnet client side of
the connection, because I W2K telnet clients do not have this problem.  I
can't make a login from my board as a telnet client and the W2K system (I
think because the long message is more than 44 bytes).

Telnet over ethernet works fine in all permutations.

Also, there is a big delay when trying to establish a telnet connection.
This seems to vary and it seems to be less pronounced when
/proc/sys/net/irda/debug is 4 instead of 0!  But this might just be my
imagination.

The FIR code is there it the driver, but I haven't tried it yet.  The SA1110
spec says it Should work.
