Hi!


After much reading over the subject, I was able to bring up irda and 
irlan but some questions remain as I was unable to make the interface 
work. I did like this:
modprobe nsc-ircc (nsc-ircc and irda loaded)
irattach irda0 s 1 (I got an Irda0 interface)
irmanager -d 1
modprobe irlan
ifconfig irlan0 etc etc etc up
This got me 2 interfaces: irda0 and irlan0. At that time I could see by 
irdadump the irda interface is up and communicating with an win95 
notebook I'm using for testing (I don't have access to the logs right 
now). The problem is I can't ping the irlan0 interface and it has no 
hardware address number. Did I do anything wrong? I had a feeling it's 
happening because the windows' side IrLAN is not working quite well. I 
can do a irdaping what makes me think the irda is ok.
One more question: how is the speed handled? I need fast transfers but I 
do like to limit the speed to about 1M.
Thank you for your time.

Adilson.
