Hi,

Thanks for the pointer. I've installed the package, but am unsure of how to 
proceed.

I have an almost GENERIC (-current) kernel. The only candidate I see in /dev
for the infrared port is /dev/cuaa1. (This device appears when I enable the 
infrared in the bios.) I also think it's right, because "irs -d /dev/cuaa1 -e 
-c -y /dev/ptyqf" (from the bird port) drops core when I move my palm by the 
ir port.

If this is not sufficient kernel support, could you give me a on how to 
configure the kernel? 

My ultimate goal is to use the irda port with kpilot.

Thanks for the help.

Kent
