I'm still fighting to HotSync Palm V with Dell
Inspiron 7000. Having read your postings, Dag --
so does the 7000 use SMC chip? I could try FIR
then.
In any case, for SIR mode, I set port 2e8 irq 3,
which corresponds to /dev/ttyS3. At least doing
setserial /dev/ttyS3 shows these same parameters I
chose in the BIOS setup.
Windows IR HotSync works! Yahoo! I had to
"Enable" it in Windows, but I guess enabling it in
the BIOS should have been enough for Linux. Yet
Windows said it "found an IR PnPxxxxx" (some
numberes scrolled there:-)... OK, I try it again
after restarting in linux and nothing again.
Grrr!
One thing I wonder about is, there's never
ircomm-tty loaded -- not when I do irattach
;/dev/ttyS3, not when I used irmanager. People
before report tons of funky lines from
/var/log/messages with itcomm_fun business going
on. Even if I try to modprobe ircomm-tty
manually, it shows as unused in lsmod and still
nothing ever happens.
So who loads ircomm-tty? Is is necessary for
HotSync -- I guess it is, as Palm says it uses
IrCOMM... :-)
