I bet you have not re-compiled and re-installed modules.
Go again through the following procedure :

Reboot
Note that most distro do "depmod -a" automatically.
If the resulting module is still called ircomm_tty instead of
ircomm-tty, and if you did all the above, then the patch was not
applied to the kernel you are booting (check Lilo).

If you have two Linux boxes, try to IrComm between the
two. This is a simple test that make sure everything work fine. I've
sent a few e-mails on the subject that you will find in the list
archive that detail setp by step on how to do this.
The messages is titled : "[Linux-IrDA]Console over IrComm -
simpler" and "[Linux-IrDA]Console over IrComm - success".
