So far SIR works in "older" Kernels, thanks to Linux/IR: SIR connection using Kernel 2.2.9,irda-utils-0.9.2 (430k files tested): setserial /dev/ttyS2 uart 16550A port 0x3E8 irq 10 # check bios for values modprobe irtty modprobe irlpt_client irattach /dev/ttyS2 irmanager -d 1 sleep 15s mknod /dev/irlpt0 c 10 62 #check /proc/misc for minor number (62 here) it does NOT work (printing large files) with Kernel2.2.9+patch-2.2.9-irda2 Kernel2.2.10 Kernel2.3.9 +patch-2.3.9-irda2 Kernel2.3.9 +patch-2.3.9-irda3 Here is what happens for Kernel2.2.10, irda-utils-0.9.2 cat file > /dev/irlpt0 file <= 2042 prints ok file = 2043 system lockup file = 2044 system lockup file = 2045 heidi kernel: async_wrap_skbWarning size=2049 of sk_buff to big! file >= 2046 heidi kernel: async_wrap_skbWarning size=2050 of sk_buff to big! the last two are followed by: Jul 19 19:32:28 heidi kernel: IrLAP, no activity on link! Jul 19 19:32:37 heidi kernel: __irda_device_change_speed(), device locked! Jul 19 19:32:37 heidi last message repeated 11 times Jul 19 19:32:37 heidi kernel: __irda_device_change_speed(), breaking loop! unless one uses the values that cause a lockup, one can print again. with Kernel2.2.10 I can also do (I would like to have FIR and "smc-ircc" needs "irport" to work) : rmmod serial modprobe irport modprobe irlpt_client irmanager -d 1 mknod /dev/irlpt0 c 10 62 file <=2042 prints ok file >= 2046 heidi kernel: async_wrap_skbWarning size=2050 of sk_buff to big! (same behaviour as above) If anybody knows, what's wrong or where to look, please let me know. Joerg -- Joerg Schmid [EMAIL PROTECTED] MPI fuer Festkoerperforschung Stuttgart
