[OT] Homebrew IRDA dongle

[Javier S. <js...@it...>]

Hi there,
	it's a bit off-topic (just a bit, because LIRC can work over IRDA,
and it is what I want, between other things), but let me ask you, cos
I can't find help in Google.
	There is support in the Linux kernel for something that people calls
"dongle" (I don't know the exact meaning of the word, cos I'm Spanish,
but I can't imagine what it means): it is a bit of electronics,
including an IRDA tx/rx, to be attached to a standard serial port, in
order to use that ttySx as an standart IRDA port. But those dongles,
when bought from their resellers, are not cheap (about 50$, even more,
plus shipping cost: half the value of my old laptop).
	Do you know about any kind of home-built irda dongle?
