Hello Andrej, I tried this and it does not work. The modules in question - related to irda - are irda, irtty, tekram. I think the modules are loaded when irda is loaded via /etc/init.d/irda start
I tried both ircomm-tty and irtty, neither works. Perhaps the reason could be that the Irda drivers are not converted to use devfs yet? I was able to mknod /dev/ircomm0 c 161 0, though... But this is not something an ordinary user will do :-) Michal Bukovjan Borsenkow Andrej wrote: >On óÂÔ, 2001-12-15 at 23:08, Michal Bukovjan wrote: > >>Hi list, >> >>I guess there is another problem with devfs - there are no irda devices >>registered. >>When devfs is disabled, I can use my /dev/ircomm* devices. >>With devfs, there seem to be no Irda devices around.
