Currently, Irda devices don't show up when udev is running.
I have been told that the problem is that Irda doesn't
use sysfs.
Platform: Debian sid July 25 2004 / Linux 2.6.7.
A patch for irda-usb was sent to the list about a week
before this bug report. It was dropped, and I forgot about
it. Since irda-usb uses a sysfs ready usb device structure,
the fix was trivial. The ISA based devices will require a
little more work to get them to support sysfs.
