i'm trying to get the IR on my Gateway Solo 9100 to work so that i can
print to a HP 4050N laser printer. i'm running kernel 2.2.14 with
irda-utils 0.9.4 (upgraded them today to 0.9.7, but can't verify until
later...)
i can modprobe all the modules in, but i can't seem to verify that
it's sending any data out to the printer. the irda-utils and IR-HOWTO
haven't been terribly helpful either in helping me figure out what
exactly i'm supposed to do. i also can't seem to find out exactly
what kind of IR hardware i have... the BIOS tells me that FIR is
configured on COM2 and DMA3, but that's it (i.e., what about SIR?).
the IR port does work; i can print over IR from (yuck) win98, and when
i have IR enabled and put the laptop in range to the printer, a little
green light on the printer's IR dongle blinks.
which modules should i load? what should i echo into which /proc
entries? what arguments do i give to irattach and irmanager (a
manpage for these would help a lot, btw!)? what do i run first,
modprobe or irmanager or irattach? what should i put in the /etc/irda
files, if anything?
TIA*10^6 if you can put me on the right path here...
