Hello. I'm posting this letter to the USB list to follow up with some problems that don't appear to be IR specific.
1. I have gotten the USB IR XTNDAccess to function using kernel 2.4.18 2. To do this, I configured USB as modules, used the non-alternate usb-uhci. 3. I have an observation which may help stabilize irda-usb when compiled statically. When I used 'irattach irda0 -s 1' - my USB mouse was taken off the USB chain (it stopped working, and it's light went out). This was remidied by modprobing 'hid' Doing this just restarted the mouse, so to speak. I'm thinking that irattach brings the dongle up the wrong way, interfering with other USB devices. If things were not modules, I could see why this might really cause a mess (as it did for me, late yesterday). I'm not pretenting to know what's going on behind the screen, but thought this info might be helpful. Thanks. chris horn. PS Below is an excerpt from my /var/log/messages - sorry it's so long.
