Hi out there, I have an ASUS L7300 laptop http://www.mat.univie.ac.at/~gerald/laptop/asus.html and I want to get a network connection between two laptops via irda running. I use RedHat 6.1 with a 2.2.13 (no irda patches yet). According to the Win98 driver I have a winbond controller sitting at /dev/ttyS1. First of all the IR port is not detected correctely by the kernel. setserial /dev/ttyS1 says "/dev/ttyS1, UART: 8250, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3" rather than "UART: 16550A" (according to a BIOS dump). Is this something I should worry about? Next I tried to use the W83977AF module, which did not work. I had a look at the kernel source and noticed that the irq/io stuff is hardcoded into the module. I rewrote the source so that they can be set via paramters (I will mail the patch to this list once I've installed the latest irda patch). Still it did not work. After a little debugging I found out that the module gives up at the "version check". I uncommented the code which checks for the version of the controller and now the module loads fine. In addition, I get an irda0 interface which I can configure via ifconfig. Any suggestions? How can I test it without a second laptop/ir printer/phone. I tried to use the remote control of my stereo and read some bytes from the device, but to no avail. Any help is appreciated, Gerald _______________________________________________ Linux-IrDA mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www4.pasta.cs.UiT.No/mailman/listinfo/linux-irda
