> 1) Check to see if you have irda utils (check in /etc/irda)

> IrPORT). This is for kernel versions 2.2.15/2.2.16
> 3) Edit the script file /etc/irda/drivers, uncomment the irattach
> /dev/ttyS2 (this will depend on which serial port your irda port is (check
> with 'dmesg'). Comment out any other irattach drivers). 4) enter the following
> into /etc/config.modules, alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty alias
> char-major-161 ircomm-tty 5)Make the following devices , mknod
> /dev/ircomm0 c 161 0 mknod /dev/ircomm1 c 161 1
> mknod /dev/irlpt0 c 161 16
> mknod /dev/irlpt1 c 161 17
> 6)Next make a link between /dev/ircomm0 and /dev/modem (if you wish to use the phone
>as a standard modem).
> 7)I also had problems with pcmcia using the irq3 (check file
> etc/pcmcia/config.opts).
> 8) restart your computer.
> 9) start irmanager (irmanager -d 1), check for errors in your /var/messages

> 10) start irdadump. switch on you phones irda port and check to see if
