1029.root@mars:/usr/src/linux>> make modules_install
cp: irda.o: No such file or directory
Installing modules under /lib/modules/2.1.131/net

It seems to try and copy the irda.o file even though I have not
said that I want irda stuff compiled either into the kernel
or as a module. (ie 'N' is said to everything).

If I'm reading the results of make then judging by the following
that's where it does it:

make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.1.131/drivers/net/irda'
rm -f $TOPDIR/modules/IRDA_MODULES
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.1.131/drivers/net/irda'
rm -f $TOPDIR/modules/NET_MODULES
for i in irda; do \
echo `basename $i`.o >> $TOPDIR/modules/NET_MODULES; done

nd at a guess this line:

MOD_SUB_DIRS := $(SUB_DIRS) irda

in drivers/net/Makefile

is the cause and shouldn't have irda in it. then again I'm not quite sure
how the whole module system works amongst all those makefiles and as such
am only seriously guessing.
