My Sony Vaio (PCG-F430) is having difficulty seeing my Kyocera Smartphone
(purportedly "a regular old Palm"). I'd eventually like to be able to
"pilot-xfer" but that seems about two steps removed right now.
The IR port is "/dev/ttyS2":
root@mxyzptlk:/linux# findchip -v
Found NSC PC87338 Controller at 0x398, DevID=0x0b, Rev. 2
SIR Base 0x3e8, FIR Base 0x3e8
IRQ = 10, DMA = 0
Enabled: yes, Suspended: no
UART compatible: yes
Half duplex delay = 0 us
My first question is fundamental -- what's the difference between:
insmod irda
insmod irtty
setserial uart 8250 port 0x3e8 irq 10
irattach /dev/ttyS2
and using:
alias irda0 nsc-ircc # in "conf.modules"
setserial uart none port 0x0 irq 0
irattach irda0
?
Given the above scenarios, which device would I pass as the port to
pilot-xfer? "/dev/ttyS2"? "/dev/ircomm0"? Something else?
When I use the "irda0" nsc-ircc module, and start it in discovery mode
("irattach /dev/ttyS2 -s 1") the Palm pops up its "Waiting for sender"
dialoge, which presumably means that there's *SOME* activity (and yes,
I've successfully beamed info from the Palm to other systems), but
"/proc/net/irda/discovery" doesn't show that we've seen any other devices
out there:
root@mxyzptlk:/linux# cat /proc/net/irda/discovery
IrLMP: Discovery log:
"irdadump" shows nothing when I'm not in discovery mode, and does only:

[ Computer ] (24)
when it is.
I do have the following lines in my conf.modules:
alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty
alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty
and I've gone through all the every obvious thing I can think of, but to
no avail.
