Hi All,
I am sorta new to the IRDA stuff and am getting the IR stuff working with
an AMD Elan board.I thought the latest linux kernels (2.4.4 and 2.4.5)
have all necessary IRDA support?
So if I have to start off afresh,am aiming for a running kernel with full
IRDA support for say IR communication with a Palm etc, should I go for the
2.4.5-ac9 kernel? Or is this a patch that has to be applied to my
existing 2.4.4 or 2.4.5 kernel?TIA.
