Hi,
I'm stuggling to find the status of the smc-ircc driver, from what I can see
it isn't finished yet, but to what degree I can't tell... so, appologies if
this is a FAQ.
I have a Dell Lattitude CPxJ, which 'findchip' reports as containing an
SMC FDC37N958FR at 0x3f0, with SIR at 0x3e8 and FIR at 0x290. I have
successfully got IrDA working using 'irattach', but the 'smc-ircc' is
more problematic.
Firstly, my stock RH kernel has 'serial' support built-in, so at boot,
the serial driver grabs 0x3e8 thinking it's a UART. I haven't found a
way to stop this happening yet - the does not appear to be a kernel param.
When I do a 'modprobe smc-ircc' I get the frequently reported
'device or resouce busy' type message, so I tried using 'setserial' to move
the IO addr of ttyS2 to another address. 'modprobe smc-ircc' now succeeds
and I get:
kernel: SMC IrDA Controller found; IrCC version 1.1, port 0x290, dma=3, irq=4
kernel: IrDA: Registered device irda0
To me, this looks like the driver has found my IR Port and registered it as
irda0. However when I do an 'irdadump' I get no output and 'irdaping'
reports 'network down'.
Any ideas or info please?
BTW I'm willing act as a guineapig for new drivers, as I'd really like to get
FIR working.
Thanks,
Robert
