Well, after a recompile I now find that I have /proc/net/irda.  
And... in the irda directory there is .. discovery .. irias .. irlap 
.. irlmp .. irttp ..  but .. when I try to do modprobe irda I still 
get the message that irda.o isn't there. I did remember to do 'make 
modules' and 'make modules_install'  So,  it should be there.

When I rebooted I got the message that the irdamanager had started 
which I didn't get before.  At least that part is positive.

So,  the mystery deepens
