Yes, I got it :
modprobe nsc-ircc dongle_id=0x08
Of course, on a HP laptop, you would expect them to use an
HP/Agilent hardware.
By the way, how are you supposed to discover what is the
correct number ? From my code inspection, it seems that only 0x08 and
0x09 do anything meaningfull, so I did a few try.
But, it would be nice to get the detection working. Windows 98
on my laptop use a generic NSC driver, so I don't know which magic
they are doing...
So, I've got to report full success on my OmniBook 6000
laptop, at SIR and FIR.
I do the following :
------------------------
rmmod serial
modprobe nsc-ircc dongle_id=0x08 # HP HSDL-2300, HP HSDL-3600/HSDL-3610
irattach irda0 -s 1
------------------------
So, happy as I was, I did a little netperf test on top of
IrNET with compressed data (a bz2 kernel), and I got 3.19 Mb/s.
A FTP of the same file was not as happy as netperf, because it
did max out at 210 kB/s.
Now the bad news is that my speed patch uncover a bug in the
NSC driver (change speed, once again).
Have fun...
Jean
