I have a 420 CDT, which is pretty similar, probably. It's a SIR only
device, so just forget the toshiba driver. I run kernel 2.2.18, with the
latest irda-utils. It was working before too, with a 2.2.18pre and
relevant patches. Here's my kernel config:
CONFIG_IRDA=m
CONFIG_IRLAN=m
CONFIG_IRCOMM=m
CONFIG_IRDA_OPTIONS=y
CONFIG_IRDA_CACHE_LAST_LSAP=y
CONFIG_IRDA_FAST_RR=y
CONFIG_IRDA_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_IRTTY_SIR=m
CONFIG_IRPORT_SIR=m
# CONFIG_TOSHIBA_FIR is not set
Then, make sure the IR port is configured, using the BIOS setup screen you
get to by pressing ESC or F1 during boot -- in my case the mouse is on
ttyS0 (com0) and the IR device is on ttyS1 (com1). Then run "irattach
/dev/ttyS1", and the IR port will be on /dev/ircomm0. You'll need to
create the /dev/ircomm0 file, and set up /etc/modules.conf, probably.
That's documented elsewhere.
