+IrDA-Utils (manage and control infrared devices)
+
+This package contains various user space utilities which control
+IrDA stack and a bunch of little programs serving as examples and
+tools for IrDA applications.
+
+If you want to enable SIR mode connections at startup, adjust the
+serial port of you IrDA in /etc/rc.d/rc.irda, make it executable
+with 'chmod +x rc.irda' and add the following lines to your rc.local:
+
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.irda ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.irda start
+ fi
+
+If you are unsure which serial port to choose, 'dmesg | grep tty' may
+point you to the right direction.
+
+For detailed instructions on how to enable FIR mode, see 'man 8 irattach'
+and README.irattach in the doc directory.
