--- Begin Message ---Package: irda-common Version: 0.9.14-18 I have a couple of suggestions for this package: - it chips with findchip. Shouldn't preconfigure run findchip and use that information instead of asking the user whether he/she has a FIR supported chip (something I had no idea) - The init script doesn't deal with FIR chips. irattach sends the hostname to proc and so forth, but if you use a FIR chip, you don't need irattach, so you need to run the following in the init script: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/irda/discovery echo `hostname` > /proc/sys/net/irda/devname - The biggest problem however is that FIR will fail to load properly as long as you don't have this in the initscript: /bin/setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart none port 0x0 irq 0 The package should _really_ include a FIR section and disable the serial port, otherwise irda will not work at all (I spent too many hours having to research this, and wish the package had done this for me :-) Thanks Marc -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.
