What distribution are you running? potato? testing? unstable? > (left the configuration file /etc/irda.conf alone, it looked about right) > > 4) ran 'dpkg-reconfigure irda-common' and did not edit the > /etc/irda.conf file. Are you tring to get fast infrared? If so, you will need to uncomment the lines in /etc/modutils/irda: ---- /etc/modultils/irda ----- # To use the NSC driver on a Thinkpad laptop: uncomment the following: options nsc-ircc dongle_id=0x09 alias irda0 nsc-ircc ------------------------------ Make sure your /etc/irda.conf uses IRDADEV=irda /dev/irda comes from the NSC irda module. Make sure that is a part of the kernel you have. If you are running devfs, you may also need to add these lines to /etc/irda.conf so devfsd can autoload the ircomm module if needed: ---- /etc/modultils/irda ----- # Devfs autoload alias /dev/ircomm0 ircomm-tty alias /dev/ircomm1 ircomm-tty ------------------------------ If you need more detail about the individual steps, let me know.
