First thanks for all of the work on the IrDA code.
Second here is a quick explanation of my setup and the problem:
Kernel 2.2.15-pre16
Redhat 6.2
irda-utils-0.9.10-1
This laptop:

One of the new Sony picturebooks.
[root@sopic shane]# findchip -v
reg=0x000
Found NSC PC87338 Controller at 0x398, DevID=0x0b, Rev. 2
SIR Base 0x3f8, FIR Base 0x3f8
IRQ = 3, DMA = 0
Enabled: yes, Suspended: no
UART compatible: yes
Half duplex delay = 0 us
These commands:
rmmod serial
modprobe nsc-ircc dongle_id=0x0X [where X=0->f] Yes, I tried them all
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/irda/discovery
irdadump
>From /var/log/messages: (see the dongle_id= comment above)
Mar 29 18:18:50 sopic kernel: IrDA (tm) Protocols for Linux-2.2 (Dag Brattli)
Mar 29 18:18:50 sopic kernel: nsc-ircc, Found chip at base=0x398
Mar 29 18:18:50 sopic kernel: nsc-ircc, driver loaded (Dag Brattli)
Mar 29 18:18:50 sopic kernel: IrDA: Registered device irda0
Mar 29 18:18:50 sopic kernel: nsc-ircc, Using dongle: Consumer-IR only
So it seems that the IrDA code is finding the chip. I tried every
dongle possible (even the ones which the code said were reserved).
The problem was that irdadump _never_ showed any output. I was testing
with my Palm. I know my Palm works as I tried it with another linux laptop
[IBM 600X with almost the same setup above], and it worked.
If anyone has any tips at all I would be very glad to hear them.
Have a virtual beer in advance just for trying ;-)
Thanks
