 Posted: Sat Apr 23, 2005 1:25 am Post subject: Kernel IRDA driver help |
 |
|
I have searched the forums and tried everything applicable thing I could find on this, so forgive me if this seems simple to everyone else.
I am trying to configure my ALi FIR port on my Compaq 2580US to use IRDA, and have had 0 success... I cannot even see it under lspci despite building the kernel driver for ALi M5123 FIR in... I have even tried loading modules for each of the different IR drivers in turn to no avail.
Has anyone else had experience with this model? I would really like to talk to my phone 
Thanks |

if its a serial port like device this may work
emerge setserial
uncomment
/dev/ttyS0 uart 16450 port 0x3F8 irq 4
/dev/ttyS1 uart 16450 port 0x2F8 irq 3
/dev/ttyS2 uart 16450 port 0x3E8 irq 4
/dev/ttyS3 uart 16450 port 0x2E8 irq 3
in /etc/serial.conf
and add /etc/init.d/serial to default rc level |

I think the kernel might be seeing it as dmesg | grep ttyS reads
| Code: |
ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
ttyS0 at I/O 0x1428 (irq = 10) is a 8250
ttyS2 at I/O 0x1440 (irq = 10) is a 8250
ttyS3 at I/O 0x1450 (irq = 10) is a 8250
ttyS4 at I/O 0x1460 (irq = 10) is a 8250
ttyS5 at I/O 0x1470 (irq = 10) is a 8250
