I have the following in rc.local; it lets my Thinkpad T21 talk to my 
Palmpilot:

	/usr/sbin/irdaattach -f tty01 && echo irdaattach
	/usr/pkg/bin/irs -Y -c -y /dev/ptyqf -d /dev/irframe0

I have no idea what, if anything, one would do with dongles.
(Btw -- I tried using the output of irdaattach instead of /dev/irframe0,
but the code is buggy.  I filed a PR, but I don't think the fix has 
been pulled up into 1.6.1.)
