Hi people: I'm trying to turn on the irda on my laptop but I don't know how to know which chipset it is, I think I need to know this to know which module I need to compile in the kernel.
The command 'lspci'[1] does not show me any thing that looks like an irda. Looking for 'irda' into 'dmesg' neither find any thing. I have enable the infra-red into bios. I tryed to follow the tutorial like: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_mobile_phone_connected_with_IrDA But when I try to turn on the irda I have an error: # /etc/init.d/irda start * Starting IrDA ... Failed to open device /dev/ttyS2: No such device or address Maybe I don't active the correct kernel module but I don't know whic one it es. I tryed to active all the modules kernel into: /lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/kernel/net/irda/ [2] Not the /etc/init.d/irda start Not the irdadump Not cat /proc/net/irda/irlap Shows to me some thing. Any suggestion? Thx. d2clon [1]----------- # lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82855PM Processor to I/O Controller (rev 03) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82855PM Processor to AGP Controller (rev 03) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 03) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 03) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 03) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-M) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 03) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev 83) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801DBM (ICH4-M) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 03) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801DBM (ICH4-M) IDE Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) SMBus Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 03) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R250 Lf [FireGL 9000] (rev 02) 02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5705 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 01) 02:04.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (rev 04) 02:06.0 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc.
