Interesting development... I got stuff in the discovery log, including the "hostname" of my PDA. But also with some errors...

cat /proc/net/irda/discovery 

IrLMP: Discovery log:



name: Leo, hint: 0x8204, saddr: 0xb4a1075b, daddr: 0x00000b9f



empeg:/# irmanager is not running!

irmanager is not running!

IrLAP, no activity on link!

Some of that stuff came out on stderr. Looks like I'm onto something here, but it still doesn't like that it can't find irmanager
