Hi All, I have not been able to use irda on an old laptop (Evo N600v) that I've inherited. :-(
I can launch /etc/init.d/irda start, which brings up /usr/bin/irattach. It all goes pear-shaped from there. The log shows: ======================= Apr 23 00:51:17 lappy irattach: executing: 'echo lappy > /proc/sys/net/irda/devname' Apr 23 00:51:17 lappy irattach: executing: 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/irda/discovery' Apr 23 00:51:17 lappy irattach: Starting device irda0 ======================= So it seems that irda0 starts alright. However, irda/discovery stays empty: ======================= $ cat /proc/net/irda/discovery IrLMP: Discovery log: ======================= This is what I have wrt ttS': ======================= Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 6 ports, IRQ sharing disabled serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A serial8250: ttyS2 at I/O 0x3e8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A 00:02: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ======================= Shuting down irattach or irda is not straight forward. Invariably, I have to zap /etc/init.d/irda and kill -9 /usr/bin/irattach to get rid of them. I have also tried scmxx which listens to ircomm0, but couldn't get it to work either. :-( I am not sure what I am missing here. How did you get your irda working on your laptop? Can you please help? -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
