[Bug 41589] Re: kIrDAd uses ~100% CPU

Hi Hannes!
KIrDad is the kernel process which allows you to connect your pc and an infrared device (es.: cellphone). You can't kill it but you can unload the module "irda" or blacklist it.
However the general overhead caused by this process has been fixed in the next kernel release as you can see from this changelog: 

[UBUNTU:irda/sir] Add small timeout to kthread to reduce load.

So, wait for the next (and last) kernel upload (probably 2.6.15-23) and give feedback
