Dear All, I'm still trying to make my satellite 1800-400 communicate with nokia 8210. It works fine on WinME, thus the HW is OK.
Toshiba (http://newsletter.toshiba-tro.de/main/) says it has a: Super IO SMSC LPC47N227 but: - people told me info on this site is not reliable - from WinME I've not found any string saying something like "Super IO ..." - the word Super is too much for the cheap laptop I have :) My big problem is that I've not been able to understand what chip I've in this PC. Reading Infrared-HOWTO, I've tried BIOSDUMP.EXE, getting the following info: ============================================================================== In current devNode: Size = 98 Handle = 15 ID = 0x10F0A34D = 'SMCF010' -- SMC IrCC Types: Base = 0x07, Sub = 0x80, Interface = 0x00 Attribute = 0x80 CAN be disabled CAN be configured BOTH Static & Dynamic configuration Allocated Resource Descriptor Block TAG's: TAG=0x47, Length=7 I/O Tag, 16-bit Decode Min=0x02F8, Max=0x02F8 Align=0x01, Range=0x08 TAG=0x23, Length=3 IRQ Tag, Mask=0x0400, Info=0x01 TAG=0x47, Length=7 I/O Tag, 16-bit Decode Min=0x0110, Max=0x0110 Align=0x01, Range=0x08 TAG=0x2A, Length=2 DMA Tag, Mask=0x02, Info=0x0A TAG=0x79, Length=1 END Tag, Data=0x71 Possible Resource Descriptor Block TAG's: TAG=0x30, Length=0 StartDF Tag TAG=0x47, Length=7 I/O Tag, 16-bit Decode Min=0x03F8, Max=0x03F8 Align=0x01, Range=0x08 TAG=0x30, Length=0 StartDF Tag TAG=0x47, Length=7 I/O Tag, 16-bit Decode Min=0x02F8, Max=0x02F8 Align=0x01, Range=0x08 TAG=0x30, Length=0 StartDF Tag TAG=0x47, Length=7 I/O Tag, 16-bit Decode Min=0x02E8, Max=0x02E8 Align=0x01, Range=0x08 TAG=0x30, Length=0 StartDF Tag TAG=0x47, Length=7 I/O Tag, 16-bit Decode Min=0x03E8, Max=0x03E8 Align=0x01, Range=0x08 TAG=0x38, Length=0 EndDF Tag TAG=0x23, Length=3 IRQ Tag, Mask=0x0CB8, Info=0x01 TAG=0x47, Length=7 I/O Tag, 16-bit Decode Min=0x0100, Max=0x0130 Align=0x10, Range=0x08 TAG=0x2A, Length=2 DMA Tag, Mask=0x0E, Info=0x0A TAG=0x79, Length=1 END Tag, Data=0xFB Compatible Device Identifier TAG's: TAG=0x1C, Length=4 Compatible ID Tag pnpID = 0x1005D041 = 'PNP0510' -- Generic IrDA SIR TAG=0x79, Length=1 END Tag, Data=0x45 ============================================================================== On my RH 7.1 I've tried lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Acer Laboratories Inc.

Looking at /var/log/messages and dmesg, my 2.4.10 kernel recognizes only ttyS0 (the standard serial port) and nothing else. The serial is not compiled as a module in the kernel, but it's in the kernel. In the /etc/modules.conf I've the line: alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty and when I access with minicom to /dev/ircomm0 the Dag's module (irda-utils-0.9.13-7) is loaded with no error (seen /var/log/messages). However, I can't give any command in the minicom window. I've even tried: setserial /dev/ircomm0 irq 3 port 0x02F8 uart 16550A skip_test being quite sure of port (from BIOSDUMP.EXE) but having some doubt about the IRQ. However, IRQ 3 was not used by any other application. Sad thing is that after serserial issued I've tried: setserial -a /dev/ircomm0 and the parameters I give are not set. cat /proc/interrupts does not list IRQ 3 Now I've finished my trials. I've just a couple of doubts: - should I use toshoboe? - is there a right sequence of performing operations I missed? - could it be better have serial as a module? Am I wrong somewhere? Do I have a chance to use IR with nokia 8210? It's very kind of you if you've arrived to read at this point. Thank for your patient. I hope you can help me some way...
