I'm trying to get my irda working (again) on my A21m Thinkpad. I had it working once. I booted into Win98 to make sure that the IR port is turned on.
Here's the log (syslog) attached. Can someone help me figure out where I should look? I do have the kernel modules: irda and ircomm in the /lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/net directory. /etc/modules.conf has: alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty alias irda0 nsc-ircc options nsc-ircc dongle_id=0x09 (man irattache says this should be 0x08... I have not had a chance to validate this) ls -l /dev/ircomm*: crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 161,0 /dev/ircomm0 (no other /dev/ir* devices) I have a Debian installation with a file: /etc/irda.conf with: IRDADEV=irda0 DISCOVERY=-s ENABLE=yes It is my understanding that this irda.conf file simply startes irattach Here's the killer. When I run irattach -s... I get a syslog entry that says: nsc-ircc: Found chip at base=0x2e nsc-ircc: driver loaded nsc_ircc_open(), can't et iobase of 0x2f8 (ed: This matches the Win98 IO address) /lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers.net/irda/nsc-ircc.o: init_module: No such device. Is there a bad parameter or something? I'm kind of stuck and not sure what I'm supposed to do with this next...
