I've tried to get SIR working on my laptop, but it seems I missed something.
In the BIOS is disabled the (real) serial port, and enabled SIR on com4
(ttyS3). Trying Windows showed that the hardware is working.
Using linux (mandrake 7.2, 2.2.17-21mdk) I put the aliases in modules.conf.
"irattach /dev/ttyS3 -s" works (loads modules and ifconfig shows irda0).
Doing something with /dev/ircomm3 (such as pilot-xfer -p /dev/ircomm3 -l)
will also load the ircomm modules.
The problem is that the ir-port remains inactive. The irmonitor program on
my palm shows no activity from the laptop. Does anyone has any suggestions
on what I might try next? Using a new kernel is something I would rather
avoid, since everything else is working nicely.
