10 [ ] Console on 8250/16550 and compatible serial port
11
12 < > 8250/16550 PCMCIA device support
13
14 [ ] 8250/16550 device discovery via ACPI namespace
15
16 (4) Maximum number of 8250/16550 serial ports
17
18 [*] Extended 8250/16550 serial driver options
19
20 [*] Support more than 4 legacy serial ports
21
22 [*] Support for sharing serial interrupts
23
24 [ ] Autodetect IRQ on standard ports (unsafe)
25
26 [ ] Support RSA serial ports

33 I hope I did well.
34 This is my kernel:

192 If I try with irda and not with irda0:

195 Could not get device name list.
196 -----------------------------------------
197 Nothing into syslog, nothing into dmesg.

199
200 I'll try to start the irda service:

203 * Starting IrDA ... [ ok ]
204 biit ~ # /etc/init.d/irda status
