Subject: [gentoo-user] Trying to active the irda into my laptop
Date: Fri, 01 Sep 2006 07:44:29

1 Hi people:
2
3 I'm trying to turn on the irda on my laptop but I don't know how to know
4 which chipset it is, I think I need to know this to know which module I
5 need to compile in the kernel.
6
7 The command 'lspci'[1] does not show me any thing that looks like an
8 irda. Looking for 'irda' into 'dmesg' neither find any thing.
9
10 I have enable the infra-red into bios.
11
12 I tryed to follow the tutorial like:
13 http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_mobile_phone_connected_with_IrDA
14
15 But when I try to turn on the irda I have an error:
16 # /etc/init.d/irda start
17 * Starting IrDA ...
18 Failed to open device /dev/ttyS2: No such device or address
19
20 Maybe I don't active the correct kernel module but I don't know whic one
21 it es.
22
23 I tryed to active all the modules kernel into:
24 /lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/kernel/net/irda/ [2]
25
26 Not the /etc/init.d/irda start
27
28 Not the irdadump
29
30 Not cat /proc/net/irda/irlap
31
32 Shows to me some thing.
33
34 Any suggestion? Thx.
