I just joined this mailing list after I failed to find answers
in the archives and the FAQ.
I have borrowed a ThinkPad 760EL from work and trying Linux
IrDA on it. Using IrTTY (I guess just at 9600 Baud). Mostly
testing against a Palm IIIx. Once that I get more confident,
I have a Belkin SmartBeam dongle which I want to try and
make it work too.
I'm using RedHat 6.0 with most of the updates from RedHat.
I tried irda-utils 0.92 and 0.93-pre8. The main stuff (irattach,
irmanager) compile and work but with few exceptions, I cannot
compile things in the sub-directories. That's worse in 0.93-pre8
where automake and autoconf fail. Any hints on how to compile
these things (or are there new updates that I could not find?).
I did not have problems with discovery. I could even make
irobex_palm3 to copy files from/to the palm IIIx. Then I decided
to actually hot-sync using IRdA. I installed the eval version of
irlink 1.2 (from IsComplete) and I could hot sync against kpilot
(with a symbolic link /dev/pilot -> irnine). That was on linux
2.2.11 patched with one of Alan's latest fixes. It worked, but
less than perfect. Then I tried to upgrade the kernel to 2.1.12 with
the 2.1.12-irda1 patch (created the new ircomm devices and changed
the sym lyng /dev/pilot -> ircomm0) and I could not hot-sync. I tried
to back to vanilla 2.1.12 and to 2.1.11+2.2.12-forlinus+2.1.12-irda1
and still hot-sync does not work. I believe that I'm doing something
wrong but cannot find out what.o
Technical question about 2.2.12-irda1: There are 32 ircomm devices.
(I understand that 16 emulate ttys and 16 emulate printer devices).
How is matching between connection and device done? Will a new
connection be made to the first available ircomm device or is these
something more complex in there? (is it possible to run multiple
services on multiple ircomm devices and make a smart decision on
which service will be used for some device?).
My last question for today? Is anyone looking at implementing
IrTran-P ?
Thanks you very much,
Itai
