Personally, I'd love to be able to use the IRda port since it is
faster than the serial port on my WinCE machines.  However, I have
less than zero time for this.  Buying an ethernet card fixed this
problem (which really was a problem on how to get netbsd boot images
to the wince machine, but I digress).

Even if we have irda support in the kernel, hotsync takes an
additional protocol layer, kinda like FTP but not really.  It is the
same as having IP but no ftpd I guess is what I'm trying to say.
Microsoft doesn't document the hotsync protocol at all :-(.
