Actually, as I said I was curious and I tried connecting with my wife's
toshiba which run win98 to transfer some files. It was a failure on
all fronts! Since I was running 2.2.10 with no patches and toshoboe 1.9,
I installed 2.2.13, toshoboe 1.9, irda utils 0.9.4, and *it got even
worse* (irdaping was functioning before, and was broken after...).
The connection is:
Toshiba 2540CDS Toshiba 4070CDT
Linux 2.2.13 <----------> Win 98
irda-utils 0.9.4 no patching whatsoever
I did'nt understand a word of James' last mail talking about what need
to be done on win98 in order to make it work (win 98 is definitely too
difficult for me :) - so I'm at a loss. I add to this mail a script of
all the operations I did while trying to get it running. The relevant
part of my /etc/conf.modules is:
#
# irda stuff
#
alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty # tty-ldisc-11 for snapshots since 21/10/98
alias char-major-60 ircomm_tty # if you want IrCOMM support
alias net-pf-17 irlan # <--- IS THAT RIGHT?
Now here's what I did (modules where already partly installed):

I've also looked at irdaping.c with gdb to see where it fails. It
fails here:
183 /* Create socket */
184 self.fd = socket(AF_PACKET, SOCK_PACKET, htons(ETH_P_ALL));
185 if (self.fd < 0) {
186 perror("socket");
187 exit(-1);
188 }
(if that can be of any help).
Thanks for all the work you're putting into this great project!
Nicola
P.S. I use regularly irda to connect my satellite 2540CDS to a SH888,
with actual irda, with cables etc. and it works perfectly!
