thanks for explaining. It seem to be time to change phone...is new year... (or may I easy hack kernel to work with 6110? hm, obscure, I know.)
And I have still problem to use desktop with 2.4.x as irda lpt server. If I print from notebook or from ipaq, then I do not obtain result. I am using "cat /dev/irlpt0" on desktop, but from notebook do not obtain anything. but my simple test work fine: on ipaq "echo blabla > /dev/ircomm0" on desktop "cat /dev/ircomm0" and obtain 'blabla' but over irlpt0 do not work. thanks and happy N.Y. poli On Mon, 31 Dec 2001, Peter Stuge wrote: > On Thu, Dec 27, 2001 at 02:57:34PM +0100, Petr Olivka wrote: > > Hi ! > > > > I know, 6110 is not full irda compatible, but with kernel 2.2.17, when I > > "cat /dev/irlpt1" and print from 6110, I obtain data corretly. > > Try the gnokii package. http://www.gnokii.org/ i believe. > > The fact that you got (what seemed) correct output from Linux IrCOMM in > 2.2.17 is just a coincidence, because Nokia 6110 doesn't do IrDA as you > correctly state.
