I've followed the various instructions for getting my Linux machine to
talk to my WinCE handheld over IrDA.
The irattach goes fine, and I get an irda0 interface reported by
ifconfig.
Starting ppp seems to go fine, and the chat script completes. With pppd
debug enabled, the /var/log/messages file then shows "Serial connection
established" but then goes no further. The next message should be "Using
interface ppp0" but this never comes.
I *can* connect to the same WinCE device over a serial link on
/dev/ttyS0 with no problems, with an almost identical pppd startup
script.
What's happening here ? Why can't I get PPP running over IrDA to my
handheld ?
The relevant files are attached:
ce.up - the startup script
ppp.chat.ce - the chat script
