Just wanted to say that I have tried to get my Win98 PC with a Actisys
2000 dongle to work with Linux IrDA for several times, and it didn�t
work.
Maybe I missed something important, but with the standard software that
comes with Win98 it was not possible to do anything (than see the Linux
pc in the irda panel).
If someone has any better experience, please post them, I really would
like to get it to work!
By the way, does anyone kno how to connect the Actisys I2000L donlge to
an Asus motherboard so that it works in FIR mode?
I can get it to work at SIR, but I don�t know which pin I have to use to
get it at FIR mode!
Thanks,
