sigmatel irda usb dongle, how do i set it up?

[BRYNN]

Hi i bought a sigmatel usb dongle and i've no idea how to set it up. I looked through a few of the tutorials but there wasnt much help. when i plug it in and do dmesg i get

usb 3-1: USB disconnect, address 3
usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
SigmaTel STIr4200 IRDA/USB found at address 4, Vendor: 66f, Product: 4200
drivers/net/irda/stir4200.c: IrDA: Registered SigmaTel device irda0

as the last few lines, i've got irda-utils... but now i'm stuck, one of the tutorials referred to /etc/modprobe.conf and said it should have the usual stuff in it. What's the usual stuff? any help appreciated.
I'm trying to use it to pull the pics off me nokia 6110i with kmobiltools
cheers dudes

any answers here? somebody just gave me an old ipaq 8535 and i'm trying to goof around with it.
i want to try this: http://embedded.centurysoftware.com/pixil/pixilpda.php on it, but i think to install you 've got to start in linux... but i can't even connect (the usb connector has been lost for years)

try this like root

/sbin/modprobe irda
/sbin/modprobe stir4200
/sbin/modprobe ircomm
/sbin/modprobe ircomm_tty
/usr/sbin/irattach irda0 -s
