Hi
I am using redhat linux 6.2 with a nokia 7110, to get irda working I had to
upgrade my kernal to ver 2.2.16. I have included a list of instructions I have
used to get IRDA working.
Configuring Nokia 7110 for ircomm
1) Check to see if you have irda utils (check in /etc/irda)
2) Compile the kernel. You need (m) IrDA Subsystem
(m) for IrCOMM, (X) IrDA protocol options, (X) Fast RRs, (m) IrTTY), (M)
IrPORT). This is for kernel versions 2.2.15/2.2.16
3) Edit the script file /etc/irda/drivers, uncomment the irattach
/dev/ttyS2 (this will depend on which serial port your irda port is (check
with 'dmesg'). Comment out any other irattach drivers). 4) enter the following
into /etc/config.modules, alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty alias
char-major-161 ircomm-tty 5)Make the following devices , mknod
/dev/ircomm0 c 161 0 mknod /dev/ircomm1 c 161 1
mknod /dev/irlpt0 c 161 16
mknod /dev/irlpt1 c 161 17
6)Next make a link between /dev/ircomm0 and /dev/modem (if you wish to use the phone
as a standard modem).
7)I also had problems with pcmcia using the irq3 (check file
etc/pcmcia/config.opts).
8) restart your computer.
9) start irmanager (irmanager -d 1), check for errors in your /var/messages
file.
10) start irdadump. switch on you phones irda port and check to see if
you have contact. You will see the phone annouce itself.
11) All you then have
to do is to use you favourite dialup program. I have used kppp and wvdial with
success..
