On my Compaq laptop:
    [root@movingviolation irda]# dmesg |grep tty
    ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
    ttyS02 at 0x03e8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A

As root, I:
    [root@movingviolation irda]# mknod ircomm0 c 161 0

    [root@movingviolation irda]# ls -la /dev/ir*
    crw-------   1 root     root     161,   0 Mar 20 21:05 /dev/ircomm0

I run: 
    irattach /dev/ttyS2 &
    irmanager -d 1

I get this:
    [root@movingviolation irda]# tail /var/log/messages
    Mar 20 21:14:34 movingviolation irattach: Serial connection established.
    Mar 20 21:14:34 movingviolation kernel: IrDA: Registered device irda0 
    Mar 20 21:14:39 movingviolation irmanager: executing: 'echo 1 > 
/proc/sys/net/irda/discovery'
    Mar 20 21:14:39 movingviolation irmanager: executing: 'echo movingviolation > 
/proc/sys/net/irda/devname'

All looks good, so far (afaik).

My palm pilot can sense the port trying to do discovery.  It's
'Waiting for Sender', and the IrMonitor program I have installed
(Very cool!) registers the signal.

linking /dev/pilot to either /dev/ttyS2 or /dev/ircomm0 doesn't
work, though.

Can you see anything I missed, or fouled up?

Thx for any help,
Evan
