|I first unload every running module, just to make sure nothing conflicts.
I am not sure this always helps. If the other modules are active they
allocate the resources used by the other devices. In this case autodetect
correctly skips the resources used by others.
I heard one example where unloading helped, that was Dag with a sound driver
which generated too many interrupts. Also maybe the irport driver needs the
resources usually taken by the serial driver?
|HmMmM. irattach /dev/ttyS0 appears to work, just giving me the version
|info but nothing else. Stuff piped to these devices goes nowhere, my cute
|little printer just quietly sits there. I try loading up other IrDA
|modules with no luck.
Does the output go to the rs232 port perhaps?
Try the same with /dev/ttyS1
Also try listing (cat) on the ports (without loading irda) when trying to
send data from the phone, maybe you see the discovery sequence.
|So I check out the manufacturer info, and see that it's one of these
|multi-purpose controllers... including floppy support... perhaps just like
|my:
|FDC 0 is a National Semiconductor PC87306
|I'd trust that message over my other guesses, since it came from the
|kernel!
Maybe we should ask the maintainer to change this message to:
FDC 0 is (emulating) a National Semiconductor PC87306
This can be confusing. A lot of chipsets are emulating this device.
|Found a guy who claims the ThinkPad 701 uses /dev/cua1 for IrDA.
See above.
Have you checked BIOS settings, sometimes you have to enable/configure the
IR port there.
Have you (forgive me) tried IRDA using M$ Windows, does it work there? What
are the settings there?
Good luck,
Fons Botman
