Hmm, I'm using RH 6.1 and the IrDA stuff that came with it. What I found
out, though, is 

        (a)     that the IR code should be compiled as modules and not
                statically linked into the kernel

        (b)     the settings for the serial port and the IR port need some
                tweaking regarding the port numbers they use. I did this
                with the ps2.exe from a DOS disk

Currently it works on a TP770.
