Bug Description
After Installing Dapper at an Thinkpad T23 IRDA works, however the devices in /dev/ are missing to establish for example a serial connection via irda.
Solution:
Create the devices by hand:
# sudo mknod /dev/ircomm0 c 161 0
However this needs to be done after every reboot of ubuntu.

I confirm this.
I've installed
irda-utils 0.9.16-11ubuntu1 IrDA management and handling utilities
to use my Nokia 6100 phone as a GPRS modem.
After rebooting, no /dev/ircomm* devices where present.
I have to do after every reboot:
modprobe ircomm
sudo mknod /dev/ircomm0 c 161 0
sudo chown :dialout /dev/ircomm0
sudo chmod g+w /dev/ircomm0
After that, devices are created and everything works fine.
Please let me know if you need firther information.
