Hello from the Eighth Doctor
It happens that I did that. The kernel that I use has those modules available to load.
I also downloaded and built the most recent of their releases, the file irda.txt in the
kernel docs directories contains where to go, and that is what I did.

Now the question becomes: Any suggestions for building a Slackware Package of
the working (for me) IRDA utility programs? Once I get things working on my
laptop, I figure would make a packge of things, so I don't need to repeat building
them on the target as well as the host. And of course offer them to the site from
which I downloaded the source code, with the instructions, giving credit where
credit is do.
