every command from a console (terminal) window or from the terminal it self (alt+fn)
when you see a '#' in the begining of the command then its because you must be superuser (root) to run it... to become root type 'su' and then the passwd...
when you see a '$' its because the command can be ran by a normal user

to know what kernel you have type: uname -a

to list the loaded modules: #lsmod
to load a module: #modprobe <module-name> or #insmod <path-to-module>

and so on ...

I think that gprs trhough infrared will be a step you must do in some future, close or distante, but first you need start to learn the basis of the command line....

here in LinuxQuestions.org there are a lot of material for who are starting in linux.

no more.
cheers
