Ummm.. there should be directories in /proc/sys/net/  Otherwise your
kernel doesn't support networking.  The irda directory will not show up
if it is not compiled into the kernel.  If its compiled as a module make
sure you have the module loaded.

kgeffert@vaio:~$ cd /proc/sys/net/
kgeffert@vaio:/proc/sys/net$ ls
802  core  ethernet  ipv4  unix
kgeffert@vaio:/proc/sys/net$ sudo insmod irda

Using /lib/modules/2.4.17/kernel/net/irda/irda.o
kgeffert@vaio:/proc/sys/net$ ls
802  core  ethernet  ipv4  irda  unix
kgeffert@vaio:/proc/sys/net$ cd irda
kgeffert@vaio:/proc/sys/net/irda$ ls
devname          discovery_timeout   max_noreply_time  warn_noreply_time
discovery        lap_keepalive_time  min_tx_turn_time
discovery_slots  max_baud_rate       slot_timeout
kgeffert@vaio:/proc/sys/net/irda$

Hope that helps.
