Hello everyone,
I have just received my Ericsson 888 GSM phone with the IR port and it works
beautifully in Windows '98. That's great for Windows people, but I need to
make it work in Linux. I started yesterday by reading the IrDA how-to. I
also found a few people who had IrDA setup on the Linux Laptop page.
I am using Redhat v6.0 which has kernel support for IrDA. It's the default
kernel version 2.2.5-15.
I downloaded the utils and attempted a compile. I had to fix numerous
problems with the Makefiles and the shell scripts, but I finally got it
going.
I looked in my logs and I found the IR serial port was on ttyS2 irq 4. I
found nothing in the docs or faqs about it, but nothing would work until I
created a rc.serial file and added a setserial line with the proper irq of
10 manually configured.
Once I did this, I could cat the discovery log and see where irmanager was
making connection with the phone.
My next problem was how to get the device in /dev. I couldn't find hardly
anything about this in the how-to or the faq. I found how to use the mknod
command on Dave Davey's page about the Canon BJC-80 IR printer. But he had:
mknod /dev/irnine c 60 64
How do I know if the values c, 60, & 64 are correct?
I am now getting this in the log and I am not sure what I did to break it,
but nothing is working anymore:
Irattach: tcsetattr: Input/output error
I have these values in /etc/conf.modules:
alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty
alias char-major-60 ircomm_tty
And this in /etc/irda/drivers:
/usr/sbin/irattach /dev/ttyS2
Can someone please point me in the right direction here? I am stuck...
Thanks,
