Dear List,
As the subject mentions, I have an IRDA dongle which connects to my USB port. The Infra-Red unit is used to transfer pictures from a Casio digital camera to the PC.
The dongle is recognized on my USB port properly, although it doesn't allow me to determine which port it's connected to. meanwhile, I've downloaded the source code for the driver module, but I'm receiving a lot of errors when trying to "make" the driver.
All of this is happening on Mandrake 10.0 , so I'd appreciate any suggestions if possible.
TIA
Erm.. If you try telling us what the errors are and maybe the name of the driver you might get a meaningful reply.

A quick Google leads me to suspect the name of the driver might be stir4200 http://tec-tech.org/?Linux%2FIrStick http://wetlogic.net/stewart/stir4200/
and a quick slocate tells me that driver is already in the 2.4.8-10mdk kernel in 10.1. Dunno about 10.0
$ slocate stir4200 /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-10mdk/kernel/drivers/net/irda/stir4200.ko.gz

Yup, right on the money Derek. But my other reply to you gives you an idea of my troubles. I'm only guessing here, but I'm thinking the error is due to the fact that the dongle hasn't been assigned a USB device port yet, and the built in module is failing because it can't attach itself to that port.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
