Hi,
after trying more than a week to get that IrDA stuff to work I wonder if it
works at all with my Sony Vaio PCG-F390.
I followed the instructions in the how-to yet no success! I also tried two
different kernels (2.2.14 + 2.2.15) w/ the appropriate patch...
Anyhow, after "irattach /dev/ttyS2 -s 1", "irdadump" shows the discovery
process:
20:35:15.954549 xid:cmd 101817ef > ffffffff S=6 s=0 (14)
...
20:35:15.404515 xid:cmd 101817ef > ffffffff S=6 s=5 (14)
20:35:15.494516 xid:cmd 101817ef > ffffffff S=6 s=* pc83 hint=0400 [
Computer ]
Yet neither my Palm III nor my G3 Powebook show any devices in range or any
IR traffic... Oh yes: I also tried _sending_ data to the Sony with my Palm
(also used the IRLINK stuff to use IRCOMM). Irdadump does not show anything
being received!
I also tried going with the nsc-ircc chip solution. "findchip -v" gives a
"NSC87338 Controller at 0x398, DevID=0x0b, Rev. 2"
But as soon as I try "irattach irda0 -s 1" I get an error message:
"can't get iobase of 0x3e8"
"0x3e8" is the I/O of ttyS2. conf.modules has the "alias irda0 nsc-ircc"
and the "options nsc-ircc dongle_id=0x0b" (also tried dongle_id=0x09).
Now: which is the way to go? Would both solutions work? Do I need to use
the "nsc-ircc"? And is it ok to use other IrDA devices to see if my Sony is
transmitting? And most important of all: how could I get this to work? Any
Sony Vaio PCG-F390 users out there who've been successful?
Thanx a lot,
Dominic
