irda service up / irattach not running


Hi everybody...
I've read most of the threads i found in LQ about connecting my nokia 6800 with gnokii through irda. I've made it after a few hours, but i still have some questions left and i'd like some help if anyone could help.
Here's the weird thing:
When i su and try 'service irda start', i get 'Starting IrDA: [ OK ]'
But if i then give 'service irda status', i get 'irattach is stopped'
If i type: 'irattach /dev/ttyS1 -s' (irda is in COM2 port), then everything's working ok.
My first question is:
Could there be something wrong with the '/etc/init.d/irda' script, cause when i run it with the 'stop' parm, it stops irda after 2-3 tries (i mean i have to give 'service irda stop' again) and when i try to start the service ('service irda start'), it always says that irda started but 'irattach is stopped'.
The second question is:
Is there any way for me to automate the process so as not to have to type these commands each time? I know i can make a script but i was wondering if sth could be done through /etc/modprobe.conf. I've read a few things about it but didn't understand much...
Any help would be appreciated. Thanx in advance.
