All iMacs should have 4Mbps IrDA at the front. If you can make this port
show up as a serial port (using setserial) then you should be able to use
IrDA and bind irattach to this port. You must however compile IrDA into the
kernel, and I think that /usr/src/linux/arch/ppc/config.in is missing the
config for IrDA, so you must insert the line from the i386 sources.
