Hi everybody,
I'm new to IrDA and have some problems. I want to connect my Sony PCG Z600NE
with a S35i Handy for PPP (shitty Winmodem inside the book) That is what I've
tried:
plumber:~ # tail -n0 -f /var/log/messages &
plumber:~ # uname -a
Linux plumber 2.4.0-test12 #18 Thu Dec 28 14:56:11 CET 2000 i686 unknown
plumber:~ # .../findchip -v
Found NSC PC87338 Controller at 0x398, DevID=0x0b, Rev. 2
SIR Base 0x3f8, FIR Base 0x3f8
IRQ = 10, DMA = 0
Enabled: yes, Suspended: no
UART compatible: yes
Half duplex delay = 0 us
OK, use this stuff:
plumber:~ # insmod .../irda.o

/* Well, loading ircomm.o ircomm-tty.o works but: */
plumber:/ # .../irattach irda0 -s 1

This one works (for me), but it is not the right way, is it?
And now my Question:
What is the meaning of those Dongles? And what is "Consumer IR only"?
