Hi,

*************************************************************************

*************************************************************************

I've just put out the first IrDA patch for Linux-2.3.8. If fixes many
problems, and probably makes a few new ones ;-) but since IrDA support for
Linux-2.3.8 was previously broken, this should definitively make things
better!

Pavel: Could you check if this patch fixes your HZ problems?

Takahide: Here is the new IrCOMM code. Still a few problems, but at least
you can see what is going on. Consider it work in progress! It works fine
with my Pilot and Ericsson.

Chris: Any more portability problems now? Well I have forgot to fix the
inlining stuff :-(

Fons: Is your new dongle driver working with this release?

I have tested Sockets, IrLAN, IrCOMM (not in IrLPT mode). To use IrCOMM you 
need to fix a few things in /dev

dagbnb /usr/src/ # ll /dev/ircomm* /dev/irlpt*
crw-rw-rw-   1 dagb     161,   0 Jul  1 14:46 /dev/ircomm0
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     161,   1 Jun 18 13:44 /dev/ircomm1
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     161,  16 Jun 18 13:44 /dev/irlpt0
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     161,  17 Jun 18 13:44 /dev/irlpt1

... and in /etc/conf.modules

alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty

Cheers

-- Dag
