Hi there. Hope you can help me. I have installed irda_utils 0.9.9 onto
my Redhat Linux 6.1
Workstation/Server but to no evail.

I have followed all instructions and when I do 'ifconfig -a' I see irda0
and irda1. No device drivers for the IRCOMM where created though. I had
no documentation on what Character-major and minor numbers where
required so downloaded an RPM, ver 0.9.4-14.

This created all the device drivers but came up with the following
message:- irda-0.9.4-14 Updating etc/rc.config... ERROR: fillup not
found. This should not happen. Please compare etc/rc.config and
var/adm/fillup-templates/rc.config.irda and update by hand. [root@dir
irda]#

When I look into '/var/adm/fillup-templates/rc.config.irda' I see:-

# IrDA is the infrared interface often found on laptops. If you like to
# activate support for the infrared port, please configure IrDA for your
# system by editing/etc/irda/drivers.

Please take a look into the IrDA # HOWTO, available in
/usr/doc/howto/en/IR-HOWTO.gz on how to configure it.
#
START_IRDA=no

 # Currently the UART (SIR) mode is supported in the normal
configuration. If # you like to
have FIR (4 MBit/s, only for a few chipsets supported), you # should
edit the file
/etc/irda/drivers. The variable IRDA_PORT sets the # used UART port,
variable IRDA_IRQ sets
the used interrupt.

# IRDA_PORT=/dev/ttyS1

  IRDA_IRQ=3


I copied this (after some playing around) to /etc/rc.config. But this is
what I get when trying to sync with JPilot to my Palm Pilot Vx:-
****************************************
Syncing on device /dev/ircomm0
Press the HotSync button now ****************************************
pi_bind No such device
Check your serial port and settings exiting with status -10


With pilot-xfer I get:-

[root@dir irda]# pilot-xfer -p -s /root/.jpilot

Waiting for connection on /dev/pilot (press the HotSync button now)...
Abort on signal! Weird packet

[root@dir irda]# ls /dev/ircomm*
crw-r--r--   1 root     root      60,  64 May 15 06:27 /dev/ircomm
crw-rw----   1 root    uucp     161,   0 Dec  9 07:57 /dev/ircomm0
crw-rw----   1 root     uucp     161,   2 Dec  9 07:57 /dev/ircomm1
[root@dir irda]#

Can anyone help?
