Wow, you know something that I don't. I understand a bit more
the situation now.
By the way, Dag, tell us about this happy event ?

Yes, for example you ;-)

You did the right thing. Just apply the last one (test3) to
2.4.0-test9. To have a "clean" patch, you may want to remove the first
snipset of the patch.

Irattach can't convert the serial port to an IrDA port. This
seems to indicate that irtty is not loaded.
Other possibility is that you are running irattach as a
user. You must run it as root, because 2.4.0 enforce permissions.

Check that you did select irtty in the kernel configuration
part. And as a module.

In my "modules.conf", I've got exacly the same thing as
above. Are you sure those lines are in your module.conf ?
For me, things are working normally with test9. I don't know
for ircomm, I don't use that.
Things to do :
o Check what modules are available in /lib/modules/...
o load modules by hand one by one
o give more info on state of the system.
