Hi All, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I have not been able to use irda on an old laptop (Evo N600v) that |
| 4 |
I've inherited. :-( |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I can launch /etc/init.d/irda start, which brings up |
| 7 |
/usr/bin/irattach. It all goes pear-shaped from there. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
The log shows: |
| 10 |
======================= |
| 11 |
Apr 23 00:51:17 lappy irattach: executing: 'echo lappy > |
| 12 |
/proc/sys/net/irda/devname' |
| 13 |
Apr 23 00:51:17 lappy irattach: executing: 'echo 1 > |
| 14 |
/proc/sys/net/irda/discovery' |
| 15 |
Apr 23 00:51:17 lappy irattach: Starting device irda0 |
| 16 |
======================= |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
So it seems that irda0 starts alright. However, irda/discovery stays empty: |
| 19 |
======================= |
| 20 |
$ cat /proc/net/irda/discovery |
| 21 |
IrLMP: Discovery log: |
| 22 |
======================= |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
This is what I have wrt ttS': |
| 25 |
======================= |
| 26 |
Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 6 ports, IRQ sharing disabled |
| 27 |
serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A |
| 28 |
serial8250: ttyS2 at I/O 0x3e8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A |
| 29 |
serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A |
| 30 |
00:02: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A |
| 31 |
======================= |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Shuting down irattach or irda is not straight forward. Invariably, I |
| 34 |
have to zap /etc/init.d/irda and kill -9 /usr/bin/irattach to get rid |
| 35 |
of them. I have also tried scmxx which listens to ircomm0, but |
| 36 |
couldn't get it to work either. :-( |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I am not sure what I am missing here. How did you get your irda |
| 39 |
working on your laptop? Can you please help? |
