Dear Subsurface development team,
A while ago I reported a very slow data transfer from my Uwatec Smart Z
DC to desktop PC thru IR. During the investigation it became clear that:
1. Each time all data will be downloaded from DC as Subsurface
can't/couldn't handle the time stamp.
2. The slow da

Ugh. IrDA is so uncommon that even the local Fry's didn't have it. Or

Yup, looks good. The default distribution config files tend to take forever
to compile (with lots of modules and other options you don't actually need)
but generating a minimal configuration requires a fair amount of kernel
knowledge..
The reason it thinks the 250Hz option is new is that you didn'
Linus,
I'll try, but I may need some guidance as kernel compilation is pretty
unexplored territory for me. I followed the instructions on
https://www.suse.com/communities/conversations/compiling-de-linux-kernel-suse-way/
. In the .config file I searched:
cat .config | grep CONFIG_HZ

I checked the Uwatec site. The drivers they supply for Windows are named

According to the info I got from Sape, it's indeed the SigmaTel STIR4200 driver.
I believe the official Uwatec dongle is either a MosChip MCS7780 or SigmaTel
4210 chipset. Those are also the only chipsets supported by JTrak (= one of the
official Uwatec applications) on Mac OS X, which lacks Ir
It's using the stir4200 driver, isn't it? That seems to be the most common
USB to irda bridge chip.
I'll see if I can find anything. I need a device that does bulk irda
transfers too, if course. I'll be back home on Monday and try to find
something at Fry's...

Sape, what irda dongle are you using? Is it something that came with the
uwatek, or some separate one? If I can find anything, I'd better try to get
something halfway relevant..

Nobody same uses irda any more (and it wasn't exactly common before
either). So it gets no testing and likely bitrots.

Dear development team,
Thanks for your relentless efforts to solve my problem. If I understand
correctly there are two issues:
1. Subsurface always downloads all dives from the Uwatec Smart Z device
because of the fact Subsurface does not use the fingerprint feature.
2. Some drivers / kernel

The fingerprint was too much random crud to actually bother saving
