Hi All-
All I want to do is sync my Palm III with my Gateway 5150 running RedHat
6.1 with kernel 2.2.16 and irda-utils-0.9.14. the HowTo is hopelessly
out of date and/or self-contradictory. So I've been reading the mailing
list archives, and trying to figure it out. No luck so far. Here's the
situation:
dmesg|grep -i tty gives:
ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
tty02 at 0x13f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
findchip -v gives:
Found NSC PC87338 Controller at 0x398, DevID=0x0b, Rev. 2
SIR Base 0x2f8, FIR Base 0x2f8
IRQ = 3, DMA = -1
Enabled: yes, Suspended: no
UART compatible: yes
Half duplex delay = 0 us
I have the following in conf.modules:
alias irda0 nsc-ircc
options nsc-ircc dongle_id=0x0b
alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty
alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty
and I've got the appropriate /dev/ircomm0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 161, 0 Dec 7 21:25 /dev/ircomm0
what do I do now?? It seems like I used to need to do irattach /dev/ttyS2
but I think that's been superseded by:
irattach irda0
when I do that, /var/log/messages shows:
Feb 17 16:39:59 physics8 irattach: executing: '/sbin/modprobe irda0'
Feb 17 16:40:00 physics8 kernel: IrDA (tm) Protocols for Linux-2.2 (Dag Brattli)
Feb 17 16:40:00 physics8 kernel: nsc-ircc, Found chip at base=0x398
Feb 17 16:40:00 physics8 kernel: nsc-ircc, driver loaded (Dag Brattli)
Feb 17 16:40:00 physics8 kernel: nsc_ircc_open(), can't get iobase of 0x2f8
Feb 17 16:40:00 physics8 irattach: + /lib/modules/2.2.16-3/misc/nsc-ircc.o:
init_module: Device or resource busy
Feb 17 16:40:00 physics8 irattach: Trying to load module irda0 exited with status 1
Feb 17 16:40:00 physics8 irattach: Starting device irda0
Feb 17 16:40:00 physics8 modprobe: can't locate module net-pf-23
I think the main problem lines are the ones with:
nsc_ircc_open(), can't get iobase of 0x2f8
+ /lib/modules/2.2.16-3/misc/nsc-ircc.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
if instead I do irattach /dev/ttyS2, I actually do get
Feb 17 16:42:27 physics8 irattach: Starting device irda0
Feb 17 16:42:27 physics8 irattach: executing: 'echo blackcat >
/proc/sys/net/irda/devname'
jpilot-sync -p /dev/ircomm0 actually activates ircomm:
Feb 17 16:48:04 physics8 kernel: IrCOMM protocol (Dag Brattli)
and gives output on irdadump, but I can't sync!
So, in a word: HELP!
Andrew
p.s. I *can* ir-sync with win98, for what it's worth...
