after my very quick review of this page I have two notices:

1) "Make sure your iPAQ hasn't been asleep since the last reboot."

yes, IrDA really doesn't work after deep sleep, but it can be fixed by
(re)loading sa1100_ir.o module (probably reinitializes controller). it can
be unloaded immediately again (thanx to Ales Koval for hint).

only one time I have had iPAQ in the state, that this doesn't work too...
:-(

2) I didn't find there (and I think that it is important information),
that irattach process must be killed before deep sleep, otherwise iPAQ
will be frozen after "wake up" (at least my system is).
