Hi all,
Sorry for disturbing you all once again, but I do have a small problem....
I recently acquired a new Compaq presario laptop, however without an IrDA-port.
No problem, I thought, since my SH888 came with a cable.
So I did the following:
- Patched kernel 2.2.14 with the latest irda-patch
- compilled the kernel with IrDA subsystem support, specifically
did I compile IrLan, IrComm, IrTTY and IrPort as modules
- compiled the latest IrDA-utils (0.9.10)
- created /devices:
byzantium:/dev# ls -l ir*
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 161, 0 Mar 6 19:19 ircomm0
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 161, 1 Mar 6 19:20 ircomm1
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 161, 16 Mar 6 19:20 irlpt0
- modified /etc/conf.modules:
byzantium:/dev# cat /etc/conf.modules
alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty
alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty
- rebooted
Then I ran from a shel:
irattach /dev/ttyS0 -s 1
And voila, I could do a cat /proc/net/irda/discovery and see my Ericsson
phone. I could even use irdaping to ping the phone - and I thought all was well:
byzantium:/dev# cat /proc/net/irda/discovery
IrLMP: Discovery log:
nickname: SH 888, hint: 0x9104, saddr: 0x6835170b, daddr: 0x1d4e79a8
byzantium:/dev# irdaping 0x1d4e79a8

32 bytes from 0x1d4e79a8: irda_seq=9 time=120.01 ms.
10 packets received by filter
Now, I fired up minicom, set the modem to be /dev/ircomm0 - and tried to
communicate with my Ericsson.....NOTHING happened. Except that I got the
message:
Mar 6 18:39:54 byzantium kernel: IrLAP, no activity on link!
in /var/adm/messages.
Now, what can be wrong? It seems to me, that the appropriate modules
(ircomm et. al) when I run minicom:
ircomm-tty 16476 1 (autoclean)
ircomm 5476 0 (autoclean) [ircomm-tty]
irtty 4368 2 (autoclean)
Further, I see nothing wrong with the following either:
byzantium:/lib/modules/2.2.14# cat /proc/tty/driver/ircomm
State: IRCOMM_TTY_SEARCH
Service type: 9_WIRE
Port name:
DTE status: RTS|DTR
DCE status:

Role: server

Max data size: 59
Max header size: 5
Hardware: Running
What have I missed out here? Please help me....
