yes, I know this page (google rules :-).
Anyways, I thought that FIR and SIR are two different infrared protocols
and devices which work on one don't work on the other. Now I understand
what it means. So, I play with SIR now (I need only 9600bps dialout, so
speed really doesn't matter to me yet).

ok, I reconfigured irda-common, selected serial, /dev/ttyS1 and for
dongle none. Now the messages from kernel are:
Jun 8 11:49:10 jurajbug kernel: IrDA: Registered device irda0
Jun 8 11:49:11 jurajbug irattach: executing: 'echo 1 >
/proc/sys/net/irda/discovery'
Jun 8 11:49:11 jurajbug irattach: Starting device irda0
Jun 8 11:49:11 jurajbug irattach: executing: 'echo jurajbug >
/proc/sys/net/irda/devname'
Jun 8 11:49:11 jurajbug kernel: irtty_net_open()
Jun 8 11:49:11 jurajbug kernel: irlap_change_speed(), setting speed to
9600
Anyways, irdadump says nothing :(.

there's no such setting in my bios, I can only set IRQ, I/O Port and DMA
channel under Infrared setting. It is correct:
ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A

jurajbug:/dev# modprobe irtty
jurajbug:/dev# irattach /dev/ttyS1 -s 1

jurajbug:/dev# irdadump

hm..... That's all I can get from irdadump, sometimes after
initialization. (the phone's infraport was turned off at this time, I
turned it on later and irdadump wrote nothing about it).
