short question. Do any of the recent kernels support IRDA on a
Pismo?

Nope.

If no, what needs to be done to make it work?

Get it to actually turn it on properly, i would imagine.
it times out trying to send the setup bytes, or something like this.

Yep, here's what I get running irattach when I replace the 'goto out' by break
in irda_setup():

PowerMac Z8530 serial driver version 2.0
tty00 at 0xc9a1c020 (irq = 22) is a Z8530 ESCC (cobalt modem)
tty01 at 0xc9a23000 (irq = 23) is a Z8530 ESCC (IrDA)
irda_setup timed out on 1st byte
irda_setup 1st byte = ff
irda_setup timed out on 2nd byte
irda_setup 2nd byte = ff (4f)
irda_setup timed out on 1st byte
irda_setup 1st byte = ff
irda_setup timed out on 2nd byte
irda_setup 2nd byte = ff (51)


Hope this is meaningful to the people familiar with that code...

I saw comments in macserial.c that it should work on older G3 PowerBooks, can
anyone confirm that? What about iMacs?


I'd really love to get this working for HotSync...

I'm glad not to be the only one who would like to see IRDA working.
Unfortunately, I'm not a kernel guru.
