Unfortunately I get: 
cat /dev/ttyS1
cat: /dev/ttyS1: Device or resource busy

Pilotmanager tries for ages when /dev/pilot is /dev/irnine, but returns
quickly when it is /dev/ttyS1.

I just relized, that even though I do have all the highlevel modules loaded,
the irda module is missing :-(

I guess I need to recheck my modules...

Is this permanent?
In my experiments so far I always hat windows warm boots inbetween. Do I need
that every time I switch on the system or only once?

Ok, I'll add that to my irda startup script.
