I've just played with this on my 2700C last week (to get my palm to sync
over irda)
Make sure the bios settings for IR are as follows (won't work in other
modes)
HPSIR/FAST-IR
COM-2 (2F8, IRQ 3, DMA 3)
It should then be usable from /dev/ircomm0 or /dev/ircomm1.
Using irdadump you should see packets going across when you put an
IR-capable device (palm/phone/other laptop) in front of it..
I've checked my BIOS settings and choosed
FAST-IR
COM-2 (2F8, IRQ3, DMA 3)
i've started "irdadump" and in another "window" i've tryed "minicom
/dev/ircomm0" (the phone was connected with the irda link) and nothing
happend on irdadump, and on minicom the status was offline. Then i tryed
minicom /dev/ircomm1 -> it returned /dev/ttyS1 is locked
i've listed the modules, "lsmod" and here's the dump:
Module Size Used by Not tainted
sis 48320 2
irtty 5472 1 (autoclean)
ircomm-tty 18816 1 (autoclean)
ircomm 7068 0 (autoclean) [ircomm-tty]
irda 78284 1 (autoclean) [irtty ircomm-tty ircomm]

agpgart 12416 3

rtc 5528 0 (autoclean)
i've cheched the ifconfig and there were a irda0 entry, i've stopped it
with "ifconfig irda0 down" and tryed to remove the modules but they
don't move out (don't know why)... and every time i try the minicom
doesn't work...
