Hi Dag and Cameron,
Thanks for responding so quickly. I have to admit I am new at Linux and
so am catching up on many things at the same time. I am also running redhat
6.0 (2.2.5-12 of their numbering system) (haven't had a chance to get Redhat
6.1 yet, my laptop is an Inspiron 7000 and seems to have some issues with
setup). Pardon me for appearing dense, but I had a few clarification
questions to ask.
I found the irda-utils rpm (precompiled)on the rawhide ftp area (Many
thanks to Mr Nobuki, domo arigato gozaimasu). After loading this package
everything seemed fine. I can discover other devices from both ends. My palm
III does not appear to be able to beam something into my linux laptop when I
use irobex_receive or gnobex. I assume this is because of the version of
kernel I am using. I assume that when I load the latest kernel and irda3
patch everything will be wonderful. That kernel version should be 2.2.12 (for
a 2.2 kernel). Rehat have some rpm's for 2.2.12 (in the rawhide ftp area).
Are these okay to load and compile (after the irda3 patch of course).
The other question I won't to know was which source rpm for irda and where
is it. I assume that this will fix the compile problems I had with the
#include <linux/irda.h> header.
Again thanks for this help.
