Hi Dag,

in the meantime I got kernel 2.2.14 with patch-2.2.14-irda1 and
irda-utils-0.9.7 running. As you suggested I can start everything
with a simple

        irattach /dev/ttyS0 -d actisys -s 1

My problem was that I had to add 

        alias char-major-161      ircomm-tty
        alias tty-ldisc-11        irtty  
        alias irda-dongle-2       actisys

to my /etc/conf.modules and to activate IrTTY support as a kernel
module. I also have now the following devices :

crw-rw----   1 uucp     uucp     161,   0 Jan  8 00:30 ircomm0
crw-r--r--   1 root     root     161,  16 Jan  8 18:24 irlpt0     

I am a little bit confused about that I need the IrTTY support ?

I am absolutely not sure which entries in /etc/conf.modules and
which devices are neccassary for the current version of Linux-IrDA,
can you please give me that information.

Did everything above. After starting the print program an my Newton I get
the following output in /var/log/messages :

Jan  9 00:59:38 mebsuta kernel: IrCOMM protocol (Dag Brattli)
Jan  9 00:59:38 mebsuta kernel: ircomm_open_lsap()

Jan  9 01:01:36 mebsuta kernel: irlap_change_speed(), setting speed to 9600

Unfortunately after ~30 seconds my Newton tells me that the connection
was not successfull. For me it looks not too bad, but something is not
right. The Newton print program expects to send the data to an HP LaserJet 5MP.
May that be the problem ?

Perhaps you have some more ideas for me.

Best regards

Reinhold
