I have successfully used PPP (ping, ssh) on my Toshiba Portege 7020
through my Ericsson SH 888 mobile phone using patch-2.2.12-irda3 and
irda-utils-0.9.4.
It may be old news to everyone, but since it took me a while to figure
this out, I briefly summarize. (Of course all of the info was in the
docs & mailing list archives, but piecing it together was no easy task.)
Someone may find this information useful.
It took me while to figure out that
1. I had to
setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart 16550A
(/dev/ttyS1 gets reported as "ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 8250 at"
boot [using dmesg]. I now use the above in rc.local)
2. The /dev settings
mknod /dev/ircomm 161 0
(located this piece of information in mailing list archive.)
3.
in /etc/irda/drivers:
/usr/sbin/irattach /dev/ttyS1
# if line below is uncommented, irdaping works
insmod toshoboe
After these (1 and 2 being the stages that took me quite a while to
figure out), ppp and minicom work fine. I have no other IR devices, so
I can not test anything else.
Many thanks for providing for *very* useful software.
Regards,
Markus
