hey list, i just subscribed so please forgive me if this is a FAQ! i did scan the archives but didn't see anything that looked relevant in the past few months' subjects. i have ircomm working great (with kernel 2.2.15pre20, irda-utils v.9.10), and it talks to my palmpilot with no problems (via the builtin IR port on my apple powerbook, under linuxppc 2000). however, i can only get it going at 9600 baud (bps?) which makes it just about useless for backing up or restoring 8M of data that i store on the thing. i've tried stty'ing the serial port itself (shows up as ttyS1) but stty reports "device in use" which makes sense since it is irattached. however stty won't talk to /dev/ircomm0 at all, it just hangs or errors. setserial similarly. stty'ing the port to any speed >9600 before irattaching is successful, but upon irattaching, irlap_change_speed(), setting speed to 9600 happens and i can't get it to change to anything else (it being /dev/ttyS1 which then reports 9600 as its speed when queried via stty) (except "0" when i start talking to it...but it seems to still go at 9600-like speeds then). stty reports 'stty: standard input: Invalid argument' when run with the same command line as worked before irattaching. i further tried a kludge of hardwiring irlap.c in the kernel to set the speed to some higher value (57600) but then beyond irattaching i can't get the port to send or listen at all (according to an IR-monitoring program on my pilot and irdadump on the powerbook). so, i guess my question is: does the ircomm protocol support >9600 baud, and how might i go about achieving it? setting the pilot to higher speeds has no effect, (adverse or otherwise) but i'm pretty sure its SOP is to drop down to what the host talks at without complaining anyway. thanks for your help, and thanks for some excellent utils and work! thanks to your and the linuxppc folks work, i can now ditch the inferior OS from this machine (its last use was syncing my pilot) and stay in linux 24/7 instead of 23.9/7 =) PS: would the official developers of irda-utils be interested in a contribution of some man pages? -- what goes up, must come down. _______________________________________________ Linux-IrDA mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www4.pasta.cs.UiT.No/mailman/listinfo/linux-irda
