 Posted: Sun Jun 26, 2005 1:19 am Post subject: [IrDA] problems with nsc-ircc *solved* |
 |
|
I've researched what IrDA chipset is in my laptop, though despite enabling support for it inside my kernel (2.6.11-gentoo-r11), modprobing nsc-ircc returns the following error.
| Code: | meriloon linux # modprobe nsc-ircc
FATAL: Error inserting nsc_ircc (/lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r11/kernel/drivers/net/irda/nsc-ircc.ko): No such device
FATAL: Error running install command for nsc_ircc |
Though, interestingly enough, dmesg reports the following...
| Code: | nsc-ircc, Found chip at base=0x398
nsc-ircc, driver loaded (Dag Brattli)
nsc_ircc_open(), can't get iobase of 0x3e8 |
Here's a look at my /etc/modules.d/nsc-ircc
| Code: | pre-install nsc-ircc setserial /dev/ttyS2 port 0 irq 0
alias irda0 nsc-ircc
options nsc-ircc io=0x3e8 irq=10 dma=0 dongle_id=0x09
alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty
pre-install ircomm-tty irattach irda0
alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty |
So, what could be the problem?

Thanks for the link, but sadly that doesn't fix my problem. I've even tried merging what I had before with whats contained within the how-to, but no go  |

i only create this file /etc/modules.d/irda
| Code: | # IrCOMM module
alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty
alias char-major-60 ircomm_tty
# DevFS autoload for IrCOMM
alias /dev/ircomm0 ircomm-tty
alias /dev/ircomm1 ircomm-tty
# IrLAN, but currently the IrLAN protocol is no longer maintained by the Linux/IrDA core team
alias irlan0 irlan
# To use the FIR driver. This applies only to the specific device!!!
alias irda0 nsc-ircc
install nsc-ircc /bin/setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart none; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install nsc-ircc; echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/irda/discovery; ifconfig irda0 up
remove nsc-ircc /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove nsc-ircc; /sbin/modprobe -r ircomm_tty ircomm irda
# IrNET module
alias char-major-10-187 irnet
|
save and exit
update-modules
and now i can modprobe de nsc-ircc module
now with ifconfig i can see irda0[/code]

| Well, I read through the how-to some more, and came across that the problem is caused by the loaded serial driver. Considering I'm not in need of a serial port on my lappy, since I use either USB or ieee1394 (firewire), I took support for it out of my kernel. Now the nsc-ircc driver loads fine, howerver, when I start /etc/init.d/irda start and /etc/init.d/lircd start, I neither have a /dev/irda0 nor a /dev/lirc0... |
