I've just set up my USB Infrared adaptor. And it works! To see if you've got the linux side working: $ lsmod | grep ir irda 87152 1 [irda-usb] You may need other modules, depending on the eaxct nature of your IrDA unit (I need irda-usb, for example), but you at least need this one. $ dmesg | grep IrDA IrDA: Registered device irda0 Wahey! My machine knows it's got an IrDA interface. Make a careful note of the device name. $ ps -ef | grep irattach root 2237 1 0 23:57 ? 00:00:00 irattach irda0 -s If this process doesn't exist, then just start it. The parameter is, of course, copied from the device at the previous stage. If you're running the irda service, then this device is set in /etc/sysconfig/irda. $ cat /proc/net/irda/discovery IrLMP: Discovery log: nickname: SIEMENS S35, hint: 0x9024, saddr: 0x1231c29e, daddr: 0x08365522 And there's my mobile phone. Even better. Now to find some suitable applications... ;-) -- Tommy
