Attention! AFAIK this stuff is left over from early version of linux-irda 
and deprecated. IIRC they are scheduled for removal rather soon - Have a 
look at Jean's page!

If you really want to try using it you should:
* prepare to run into all kinds of oddities given hardly any driver was 
  tested for these paths recently
* just create an irda-socket and do the ioctl(2) on it.

But again, you were sitting on a dead horse! This is all handled by the 
irda-stack - what are you trying to do with those ioctls?

HTH,
