I need to be able to communicate using basic serial over infrared, so I wish to use the ir-usb.c driver. However, I have not been able to find any USB-class-compliant IrDA bridge adapters which would be recognized by this driver; almost everyone uses the Sigmatel chip set which does framing in a non-compliant way (see drivers/net/irda/stir4200.c) (I have to confess, I've forgotten at this point if I actually tried the ir-usb.c driver with a Sigmatel-based dongle, but I'm pretty sure it won't work).
1) Does anyone know of a currently-manufactured USB-IrDA adapter which will work with ir-usb.c? (I'm still trying to get the necessary info from Actisys). 2) If I were to create a Sigmatel equivalent of ir-usb.c, would that be of any general interest? 3) Does anyone know of any USB-serial-infrared dongles that appear as standard USB-serial devices? So far, I've only located one: the Q-Stor IrDA QIRU2, which appears as a Mobile Action MA-620, handled successfully by the pl2303.c driver (well,it works at 9600 and 2400 baud; I haven't gotten it to work at 19200).
