Yes, you are right, Dag does the processing. But we should try
to make his life easy.

Yes. Either they are too experiemental, or just in the
pipeline (Dag don't want to push to much on Linus at a time).

Yes. And if he could set up some link on the various other
Linux-IrDA pages (mine, Christian Gennerat and others), that would be
even better.

Try the patch, and it didn't made an ounce of difference.
The driver still refuse to recognise my dongle properly (so I
have to use module parameters -> dongle_id=0x08).
And you will need to fix that :
-----------------------------------------
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-f
rame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686
-DMODULE -c -o nsc-ircc.o nsc-ircc.c
nsc-ircc.c: In function `nsc_ircc_open':
nsc-ircc.c:285: warning: assignment makes integer from pointer without a cast
nsc-ircc.c:286: warning: comparison between pointer and integer
-----------------------------------------
Have fun...
