Hi out there!
I'm a bit confused over the latest userspace changes.
I want to use the smc-ircc driver in FIR mode (it loads fine) and for
now want to access a HP4050N printer. Later I want to use IrLAN between
four (nearly) identical Notebooks.
My Q's: (+=yes, -=no)
o Do I have to run irmanager?
+ in /etc/irda/devices, do I need to issue
irattach irda0 -s 1 # like irattach/README suggests
-or-
modprobe smc-ircc # like in the IR-HOWTO exapmle
in the start) branch?
- o Do I have to care about /etc/irda/* at all?
o How do I initialize the IrDA stack then? I currently do something
along the
lines of
irattach irda0 -s 1
and have mknod'ed the /dev/ir* entires and added the lines to
/etc/conf.modules according to irattach/README from the 0.9.10
source.
But on "cat FILE > /dev/irlpt0" I get
"bash: /dev/irlpt0: Operation not supported by device"
I'm running kernel 2.2.15pre19 and irda-utils 0.9.10. There are no error
messages in the logs other than the one I get from bash on the console.
TIA,
Marc
PS: Maybe there should be re-write of the IR-HOWTO or irattach/README
happening so's they match. It's kinda annoying not knowing what to do.
