51Access to the IrDA device is through the
52.Xr irframe 4
53driver.
54Before accessing it, a firmware patch must be downloaded.

74.Sh BUGS
75.Nm stuirda
76needs the firmware for configuration, so it can't be loaded at kernel
77startup time.
78As a workaround, you can plug in the USB-IrDA-bridge after booting.
