The setserial is needed in order to release the port again. You might want to try to have the default serial driver not touch the IrDA port at all -- the simplest thing would be to try running without serial plug support for the start. > Then I start /etc/init.d/irda: > ===================== > Apr 24 15:03:37 lappy irattach: tcgetattr: Input/output error > Apr 24 15:03:37 lappy irattach: Stopping device /dev/ttyS2 > Apr 24 15:03:37 lappy irattach: ioctl(SIOCGIFFLAGS): No such device > Apr 24 15:03:37 lappy irattach: exiting ... > ===================== This seems to indicate that you're trying to use /dev/ttyS2. But as you're not using the serial port IrDA driver but an extended FIR driver the device is probably "irda0" (and it doesn't have a path, as it's a network device). Try "ifconfig -a", it should be listed. I don't have IrDA on my current machine, so I can't tell what exact configuration setting must be changed from "/dev/ttyS2" to "irda0". Start with this, first. > Should I perhaps run all this is a different order? As I said, try modprobing after the "setserial" call or even omit serial support in the kernel. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
