Simon,
I have IrDA working successfully on the z505sx. It will now happily talk
ppp to a PalmV, and I wrote a small HTTP client in Java that works on
the Palm if it is near to the VAIO. My Recipe is as follows:
1st Kill gpm (because it stops me being able to do setserial on ttyS2)
Then:
setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 10
#set up ip forwarding
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -s 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 -j MASQ
#
# fire up IR
modprobe ircomm-tty
irattach /dev/ttyS2
pppd /dev/ttyS2 19200 -detach crtscts local passive noauth debug
10.0.0.1:10.0.0.2
Ofcourse you need IP Masquerading and ppp enabled in the kernel, but ir
works wonderfully.
