17 I've got partial success! I can modprobe smsc-ircc2 which seems to
18 successfully install the module:
19 =====================
20 # modprobe -v smsc-ircc2 ircc_sir=0x3e8 ircc_irq=3
21 insmod /lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/net/irda/smsc-ircc2.ko
22 ircc_sir=0x3e8 ircc_irq=3
23 =====================
24
25 But only after I have run setserial:
26 =====================
27 # setserial /dev/ttyS2 uart none
28 =====================
29
30 The log shows:
31 =====================
32 Apr 24 13:25:18 lappy found SMC SuperIO Chip (devid=0x0e rev=01
33 base=0x002e): LPC47N252
34 Apr 24 13:25:18 lappy SMsC IrDA Controller found
35 Apr 24 13:25:18 lappy IrCC version 2.0, firport 0x100, sirport 0x3e8
36 dma=1, irq=3
37 Apr 24 13:25:18 lappy No transceiver found. Defaulting to Fast pin select
38 Apr 24 13:25:18 lappy IrDA: Registered device irda
39 =====================
40
41 Then I start /etc/init.d/irda:
42 =====================
43 Apr 24 15:03:37 lappy irattach: tcgetattr: Input/output error
44 Apr 24 15:03:37 lappy irattach: Stopping device /dev/ttyS2
45 Apr 24 15:03:37 lappy irattach: ioctl(SIOCGIFFLAGS): No such device
46 Apr 24 15:03:37 lappy irattach: exiting ...
47 =====================
48
49 findchip returns nothing.
50
51 irdadump returns nothing.
52
53 cat /proc/net/irda/discovery returns:
54 IrLMP: Discovery log:
55
56 . . . nothing.
57
58 Should I perhaps run all this is a different order? What else could I try?
