Hi. I thought to examine whether protocol stacks work, and tried connecting between Linux/i386-IrDA machine via an actual serial port. I connected two machines via cross-wired serial cable: <host #1> machine: laptop PC system: Linux/i386 - kernel 2.2.13 & irda-utils-0.9.5 # irmanager -d 1 (but /etc/irda/* not exists) # irattach /dev/ttyS0 (COM1: actual serial port) <host #2> machine: PowerBook G3 233/14" (Wallstreet) system: Linux/ppc - kernel 2.2.14pre & irda-utils-0.9.5 # irmanager -d 1 (/etc/irda/* not exists) # irattach /dev/ttyS0 (modem/serial port) As result, irdadump seems to work. Both hosts detected the another host. Continuously, I tried IrLAN. On both hosts, involked "modprobe irlan" and could see "irlan0" with ifconfig. But, assigning IP address to irlan0, Linux/i386 machine hanged up... LinuxPPC machine did not hang up. Because discovering did work with serial port and formerly failed with PowerBook's built-in IR-port, I think that transceiver/receiver of PowerBook's IR-port cannot be activated with simple serial port drivers and they are activated via special output ports. -------------------------------- Hiroshi Noguchi E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://homepage1.nifty.com/driver/ _______________________________________________ Linux-IrDA mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www4.pasta.cs.UiT.No/mailman/listinfo/linux-irda
