Hi Guys, i've got a small but annoying problem: i try to get IrDA on my notebook working, but i can't find the clue.
My system is a Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook E-6540, running Mandrake 8.1. i tried the following: modprobe irda modprobe irport irattach smc-ircc /dev/ttyS3 -s 1 works without complaints, sometimes there are some error log due to loading the smc-ircc module, but it always succeeds. ok, now this whole thing should work, shouldn't it? but as i start "irdadump" nothing happens, i bring my S35 with IR "on" to the front of the IR "eye", nothing happens... there must be a clue somewhere, but i can't find it. ok, some configuration details and logs: That's from "dmesg": Serial driver version 5.05c (2001-07-08) with HUB-6 MANY_PORTS MULTIPORT SHARE_IRQ SERIAL_PCI ISAPNP enabled ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ttyS03 at 0x02e8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A found SMC SuperIO Chip (devid=0x28 rev=01 base=0x03f0): FDC37N769 SMC IrDA Controller found IrCC version 2.0, firport 0x118, sirport 0x2e8 dma=3, irq=3 So this is from /var/log/messages: Feb 6 10:18:54 kosig irattach: Starting device smc-ircc Feb 6 10:18:54 kosig kernel: found SMC SuperIO Chip (devid=0x28 rev=01 base=0x03f0): FDC37N769 Feb 6 10:18:54 kosig kernel: SMC IrDA Controller found Feb 6 10:18:54 kosig kernel: IrCC version 2.0, firport 0x118, sirport 0x2e8 dma=3, irq=3 Feb 6 10:18:54 kosig insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.8-34.1mdk/kernel/drivers/net/irda/smc-ircc.o.gz: init_module: No such device Feb 6 10:18:54 kosig insmod: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters Feb 6 10:18:54 kosig insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.8-34.1mdk/kernel/drivers/net/irda/smc-ircc.o.gz: insmod smc-ircc failed Feb 6 10:18:54 kosig irattach: executing: 'echo kosig > /proc/sys/net/irda/devname' Feb 6 10:22:46 kosig kernel: IrCOMM protocol (Dag Brattli) Feb 6 10:42:52 kosig su(pam_unix)[3301]: session opened for user root by (uid=501) Says "insmod smc-ircc" failed, but "lsmod" shows the module... Thanks for your help, Timo BTW: just running "irattach /dev/ttyS3 -s 1" after doing "modprobe irda" and "modprobe irtty" doesn't work either. _______________________________________________ Linux-IrDA mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pasta.cs.UiT.No/mailman/listinfo/linux-irda
