Hi Jean, hi IrDA experts, I managed to build a brand new 2.4.12 kernel but now I have some more problems. It seems always that I am near to the finish - but then there is again a new problem...
In short: My 2.2.18 kernel works very fine and I managed to bring all things to work that I need. Among others: - a very transparent Wireless LAN connection with realy no problems (after I worked a little bit in the source code...) and - IrDA connection with the problems I mentioned earlier (slow transfer). Now - after Jean told me to use a 2.4.x kernel - I downloaded a 2.4.9 kernel and patched him up to a 2.4.12. (2.4.9 had compile errors, 2.4.10 worked, 2.4.11 is a _dont_use_this_, 2.4.12 works fine). - 1. IrDA: The proc-tree and syslog-information looks good - but not even OBEX transfer works now. - 2. WaveLAN: I have no Wireless LAN connection now - this is in fact a second thread and, perhaps a little off topic for this list, but I think you are the right person, to help me there a little bit ;-) Details: Ad 1. IrDA: I don't understand the reason quite. With my new 2.4.12 kernel I have to load almost all modules by hand. My base system is SuSE-linux 6.4 and 7.0. The system worked with "kerneld" before. I have a usual "/etc/modules.conf": The snippet is not complete! ------------------------------ [ BEGIN snippet /etc/modules.conf ] ------------------------------ # IrDA alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty # USB alias char-major-166 acm #alias char-major-180 usbcore alias char-major-195 NVdriver alias char-major-240 usb-serial . . . alias iso9660 isofs alias tty-ldisc-1 slip alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp alias tty-ldisc-5 mkiss # alias tty-ldisc-7 6pack alias tty-ldisc-7 off # IrDA alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty # alias ax0 mkiss alias ax0 off # alias sp0 6pack alias sp0 off alias slip0 slip alias sl0 slip alias slip1 slip alias sl1 slip alias ppp0 ppp alias ppp1 ppp alias plip0 plip alias plip1 plip alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate alias net-pf-1 unix alias net-pf-3 ax25 # alias net-pf-3 off alias net-pf-4 ipx # alias net-pf-4 off alias net-pf-5 appletalk # alias net-pf-5 off alias net-pf-6 netrom # alias net-pf-6 off alias net-pf-10 ipv6 # alias net-pf-10 off alias net-pf-11 rose # alias net-pf-11 off alias net-pf-17 af_packet # M.B. 2001-08-17 # Suggestion from "http://homepage.mac.com/pauljlucas/personal/powerbook/irda.html"; post-install irda /usr/sbin/irattach /dev/irda pre-remove irtty /usr/bin/killall -q irattach ------------------------------ [ END snippet /etc/modules.conf ] ------------------------------ With a little script now I load the irda modules "by hand": ------------------------------ [ BEGIN Load_IrDA_Modules ] ------------------------------ modprobe ircomm-tty #modprobe irport modprobe macserial #modprobe irlan ------------------------------ [ END Load_IrDA_Modules ] ------------------------------ This results in: $ /sbin/lsmod: ------------------------------ [ BEGIN lsmod result ] ------------------------------ Module Size Used by irtty 9600 2 (autoclean) macserial 38740 1 ircomm-tty 37576 0 (unused) ircomm 17488 0 [ircomm-tty] irda 181160 1 [irtty ircomm-tty ircomm] dmasound_awacs 24540 0 (unused) dmasound_core 11168 0 [dmasound_awacs] soundcore 4792 3 [dmasound_core] ipv6 161716 -1 (autoclean) pcmcia_core 41824 0 ------------------------------ [ END lsmod result ] ------------------------------ Well, with the 2.2.18 kernel the irda modules were loaded via an init-script that did a "startproc /usr/sbin/irattach ${IRDA_PORT} -s".
