Hi again-again :)

First, I guess I should say happy birthday to Dag, yes? :) Hope you're having a
blast of a party :)

Then....

I still fail to get the IrDA stuff running on Linux 2.2.13 & patch
2.2.13-irda6 - even after trying Dag's suggestion (irattach rather than
irmanager). I really hope that you good people can help me out - again :) 

A summary of my setup:

Kernel 2.2.13 + patch, all IrDA as modules. IR-device on 2nd serial port. 
IrDA utils v. 0.9.5 (worked before I upgraded - that was with kernel 2.2.12
patch 3 or 4.).

laptoy:~# cat /etc/conf.modules 
# IrDA
alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty
alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty

laptoy:~# 

laptoy:~# ls -l /dev/ir*

laptoy:~# depmod -a
laptoy:~# modprobe -l

laptoy:~# modprobe irda
laptoy:~# lsmod

Okie. Then I run irattach:

laptoy:~# irattach /dev/ttyS01 -s 1
1.1 Tue Nov  9 15:30:55 1999 Dag Brattli

laptoy:~# tail /var/adm/messages 
Nov 24 22:39:50 laptoy irattach: Serial connection established.
Nov 24 22:45:44 laptoy kernel: IrDA (tm) Protocols for Linux-2.2 (Dag Brattli) 

Hmm....but nothing like what I used to get - like what is in the howto here:
http://www.snafu.de/~wehe/IR-HOWTO-5.html#ss5.3 

And ifconfig -a gives no irda0-port...someone suggested that I tried ifconfig
irda0 up...that gives this:

laptoy:~# ifconfig irda0 up
irda0: unknown interface: No such device

(which is what I would expect since no irda0 was ever registered anywhere).

So now what? I am probably missing out something obvious (like last time) - and
I would be happy for any advices or help.

Btw., would it be of advantage to upgrade to a kernel 2.3.x with respect to
IrDA-stuff? OR is 2.2.x+patches "just as good" (I hope the later, I dislike the
thought of experimental kernels on "really really important boxes" such as
thisone).

Please advice - and thanks for your time.
