I don't run 2.2.17, but with 2.2.16 I get IrDA to run at serial speed
115 200 or something like that, for the moment that is enough for my

which mainly consists of using my cell phone and sometimes sync the
palmV
I think sony ships their laptops with the SMC ir chip set, which still

At least I have never go mine to work...
