First of all, you see that irda0 gets registerd by the kernel (dmesg|grep Ir)
since you want to use IrComm, that is for palm pilot sync you must have the ircomm
modules loaded..
check that with lsmod
also run ifconfig and see that irda0 is up so to say, and you should also have
/dev/ircomm0
if all the above is correct redirect your palm sync program to use /dev/ircomm0, and
it should work.
if your palm is correctly configured etc. ;))
also you can check /proc/sys/net/irda/discovery to see if it contains a line with some
information about your palm pilot.
hope this gives you some hints.
