Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: irda-utils

I'm trying to connect my Nokia 6100 phone via an USB IrDA adapter. The
Nokia has a limitation with regards to the maximum baudrate that it will
support. When set to values higher than 9600 baud applications like
Wammu won't be able to communicate properly with this device.

Apperently this is a bug in the phone. There is a simple workaround. By
setting the max_baud_rate to 9600 in /proc/sys/net/irda everything works
fine.

The init script, /etc/init.d/irda-utils, however has a hard coded
setting which will allways set the max_baud_rate spead to 115000.

It would be appreciated if this could be changed into a setting that is
read from /etc/default/irda-utils?

I've changed the line in /etc/init.d/irda-utils to look like this:
$SYSCTL -e -q -w net.irda.max_baud_rate=$MAX_BAUD_RATE

MAX_BAUD_RATE is a variable defined in /etc/default/irda-utils.

Marco Verleun
