o Yes I think Inspiron 7000 is using the SMC chipset. But be prepared to do
  o some development. Don't use it if you don't mean it ;-)

I'd love to, if you help!

  o Have you tried irda-utils-0.9.9/findchip?

Silence of the lambs.

  o alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty
  o alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty

Always had that.

  o alias irda0 smc-ircc

Hmmmmm!  Funky.  Do I need it only for FIR mode or
did I always need that alias on the Inspiron?

  o ... if you do a depmod -a after inserting this into your /etc/conf.modules,
  o then the ircomm-tty module will be automagically loaded when you access
  o char-major-161. 
  o 
  o dagb-home ~/ > ll /dev/ircomm0 
  o crw-------    1 dagb     161,   0 Dec 22 14:15 /dev/ircomm0

Have that, too.

  o Do you see the connection now?
  o -- Dag

Yep.  However, when people do irattach /dev/ttyS?,
and then pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyS? that, they don't
access /dev/ircomm0 -- how the heck does irda know
why load ircomm-tty?!  Some people here said they
do pilot-xfer -p /dev/ircomm0, but others do
/dev/ttyS?.  Does irattach /dev/ttyS? make it the
same as /dev/itcomm0?

Which options exactly do I have to pass to SMC in
FIR mode?  Your line above has none.  Is that OK?

I'm sending a bottle of premium St. Emilion to
the person whose lead will prove decisive in
making Palm V HotSync with Inspiron 7K.  :-)
