Hi,

I have a problem to make Linux IrDA working with my Toshiba Satellite
Pro 4200 notebook. I 'd like to use the GSM modem of a Siemens S35
mobile phone via IrDA.

Configuration:
SuSE Linux 7.0
Kernel 2.2.16 (I have also tried 2.4.1)
(latest) irda-utils 0.9.13

I have already tried the toshoboe driver for FIR support and the
irattach command (of course I have loaded the necessary modules before).

The kernel reports two serial devices one is the serial port, the second
/dev/ttyS1 on 0x2f8, irq 3 uart 8250 should be the IrDA port. (I have no
possibility to change it in the Bios)

I bind irattach with the command "irattach /dev/ttyS1 -s"
When I attach with minicom to /dev/ircomm0 (of course I have loaded the
necessary modules before) and a baud rate of 9600 or 115200 (hw or sw
flow control testet)

I get no response, Minicom even hangs when exiting. I have also made
some test with irdump without success. I see outgoing data but no
incoming.

Has anybody a good hint for me? Should I change to a Dell notebook to
have more success?

Thanks a lot for your replies,
Bye,
Erwin Roth.
