You may have to wait for someone to port the irframe and ustir devices from NetBSD: http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?ustir http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?irframe > Any info will be greatly appreciated, I'm interested in making > this work even if I have to spend a few months coding everything > myself.
