When I try to bring up irda I get the following errors posted to
/var/log/messages:
Sep 29 11:07:34 traveller irmanager: executing: 'echo 1 >

this seems to be a problem!!

- Distro RH 6.1 w/ extendive updates
- irda-utils installed
- findchip yields:
[root@traveller linux]# findchip -v
Found NSC PC87338 Controller at 0x2e, DevID=0x0b, Rev. 2
SIR Base 0x2f8, FIR Base 0x2f8
IRQ = 5, DMA = -1
Enabled: yes, Suspended: no
UART compatible: yes
Half duplex delay = 0 us
I issued tpctl -rs2=enable prior to this
- setserial /dev/ttyS1 gives:
[root@traveller linux]# setserial /dev/ttyS1
/dev/ttyS1, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 5
- /etc/irda/drivers has this for the start section:
case "${action:?}" in
'start')
irattach /dev/ttyS1 # The second serial port is an IrDA
port
- /etc/rc.d/init.d/irda has in the start section:
# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
# Start daemons.
echo -n "Starting irmanager: "
daemon irmanager -d 1
echo
;;
- irmanager is running.
- /proc/misc has in it:
63 irda
Should this reflect the major number of any devices I create for
/dev/ir....? The IR-HOWTO talks about doing the following:
# IrDA
alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty
alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty
Note: The format of this entries has changed! Then do a depmod -a to
update, and then
ircomm should be automagically loaded when you need it. Here is what you
need in /dev:
dagbnb /usr/src/ > ll /dev/ir*
crw------- 1 dagb 161, 0 Aug 25 20:13 /dev/ircomm0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root 161, 1 Jun 18 13:44 /dev/ircomm1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root 161, 16 Jun 18 13:44 /dev/irlpt0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root 161, 17 Jun 18 13:44 /dev/irlpt1
I have done the alias in conf.modules, setting it to char-major-63, and
created a /dev/ircomm0 like so:
[root@traveller /dev]# ls -la /dev/ircomm0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 63, 0 Sep 29 13:15 /dev/ircomm0
But I still get the errors in the log.
Any help or further pointers would be great. I would love to either
sync my palm or use IR printing, BUT the Red Hat kernel 2.2.16 source
RPM I loaded does not seem to have any IR lpt support in it!! I do not
get any config questions regarding IR printing, as I have seen listed on
some pages regarding Linux irda.
I have tried to get subscribed to the Linux-IRda list but at least from
where I am, I cannot get to any hosts associated with any machines or
web pages around cs.uit.no, so I can't see any of the snapshots or
mailing list archives.
