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 -- Richard
