Hi,
I know that this has been discussed before, and I tried to solve my problems
using some of the advices I found in mailing list archives. However, I
didn't have much success and so I'm posting this as a last resort...
I have an Actisys IR-210L dongle, which is connected directly to the
motherboard and I was hoping I could use it to connect with my Siemens S25
cellular phone under Linux. Following the instructions found in IR-HOWTO and
on the web, I downloaded and applied the latest patch to my kernel (version
2.2.14). I also downloaded and compiled latest irda-utils (version 0.9.8)
and set up everything on my system according to docs.
According to some messages on the list, the only thing I need to do after
that is to activate IR communication on my phone, put it in range, and
execute `irattach' with appropriate arguments, like: `irattach /dev/ttyS1
-s'.
However, after I did that, nothing happened. :-( The only thing I got was a
message on the terminal:
[root@gremlin /root]# irattach /dev/ttyS1 -s

`/var/log/messages/' had no new messages in it, and I believe there should
be some info about discovered S25, or something like that. As for stuff in
`/proc', this is what I have:
[root@gremlin /root]# cat /proc/sys/net/irda/discovery
1
`lsmod' reported the following:
[root@gremlin /root]# lsmod
Module Size Used by
irtty 5052 1 (autoclean)
irda 85857 1 (autoclean) [irtty]
supermount 14880 2 (autoclean)

nls_cp437 3580 1 (autoclean)
vfat 11004 1 (autoclean)
fat 32640 1 (autoclean) [vfat]
Befor someone asks, yes, I have all the ir* devices in `/dev':
[root@gremlin /root]# ls -l /dev/ir*
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 161, 0 Jan 28 09:06 /dev/ircomm0
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 161, 1 Jan 28 09:06 /dev/ircomm1
prw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 21 00:34 /dev/irkbd|
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 161, 16 Jan 28 09:06 /dev/irlpt0
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 161, 17 Jan 28 09:06 /dev/irlpt1
Relevant part of my `/etc/conf.modules' looks like this:
alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty
alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty
The question is, what am I doing wrong? After my initial atempt, I tried
numerous other combinations (some of which included manual loading of
modules, starting `irmanager' (which is now obsolete, I beleieve) and other
things), and it got me nowhere. :-(
I'd be grateful for any suggestion.
(P.S. It's not a hardware error, because the darn thing works under Windows
without problems. If it is relevant (and I think it is not), I'm using
Linux-Mandrake 7.0).
