Hi,

one of the things i am playing around with is power saving on the laptop.
and i usually dont use (only for polling email) is irda. So i would like
to automatically let uucico touch /dev/ircomm and the kernel modules do
the rest - Just like with alsa.

I have already the irda module pulling the hardware drivers
via irda-dev-0 ... irda-dev-<irda_devs_limit>

So my modules.conf looks like this:

alias irda0 nsc-ircc
alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty
alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty
alias irda-dev-0 nsc-ircc
options irda irda_devs_limit=1
options nsc-ircc dongle_id=0x9

Which is kind of nice - Another two things are needed - Automatically enabling
discovery and automatically "up"ing "irda0" which i currently fail at.

Interesting would also be an automatic "unloading" of the module if
idle (no discovered devices for "n" seconds)

Did anyone play in this direction too ?
How do automatically enable a device (ifconfig irda0 up equivalent) ?

Flo

     Why is it called "common sense" when nobody seems to have any?
