Hello,
 
I'm having a load of fun (Not) trying to get this chipset to work.
 
Its running an advent 5480DVD laptop and I have not even managed to get Me to talk to my Ir phone (Nokia 8210).
The laptop has been been back for repair (No fault found) and so I am trying linux.
 
The bios will only support changing between IrDA (full/half duplex) and FIR using DMA, however there is no way of changing/viewing ports or interrupts.
 
Findchip exits with no output,and I cannot see anything in the logs anywhere.
 
Dmesg�grep tty reports 2 ports (ttyS00 and S02 using irqs 3 and 4 respectively)
 
I can load the Irda module ok But Irdadump just sits there till I Ctrl-c it whereupon it says no packets received.
 
I know the phone works because I wasd able to use it with my old Toshiba laptop at home,Unfortunately that is now 4000 miles away.
 
I would really appreciate some guidance here from anyone who has managed to get this chipset to work.
 
Thank you
 
Stu Foster
