Hello, everybody! I am trying to get irda running on a Dell Inspiron 8100. It works fine under M$ Windows, but I still have trouble to make it work with SuSE Linux 7.2. My modules.conf file contains: 8<-------------------------------- ... # IrDA over a normal serial port, or a serial port compatible IrDA port alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty # IrCOMM (for printing, PPP, Minicom etc) alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty # if you want IrCOMM support # IRLAN alias irlan0 irlan # To be able to attach some serial dongles # These values are hard-coded in irattach (not instance order) alias irda-dongle-0 tekram # Tekram IrMate IR-210B alias irda-dongle-1 esi # ESI JetEye alias irda-dongle-2 actisys # Actisys IR-220L alias irda-dongle-3 actisys # Actisys IR-220L+ alias irda-dongle-4 girbil # Greenwich GIrBIL alias irda-dongle-5 litelink # Parallax LiteLink alias irda-dongle-6 airport # Adaptec Airport 1000 and 2000 # To use the FIR driver.

The devices are both okay, because they accidentally connected once, when I was trying them at the same time. But still, my Dell Inspiron 8100 is just getting _no_ packets. In BIOS I configured it to use COM3, I tried both Fast IR and Slow IR. As said above, it works with Windoze, but not in Linux !? I was trying hard to make it work, but now I am totally out of ideas. Maybe there is someone who experienced the same situation and has a clue for me now... Thank you all in advance, Georg Gogo.
