even if it does not apply to irda it does for USB devices that present themselves as serial ports. I think we should add this to the documentation at least for Ubuntu users that you want to do something like

sudo adduser <username> dialout

so that you can write to the USB adapter. Doing a chmod is not good as Ubuntu 'corrects' this on reboot.

Best
