irdadump also dumps data when there is no connection, are you sure you see data from the Palm? > Sometimes it just doesn't connect.

Are you aware that it only works up to 57600 bps yet? I have a file /etc/modutils/irda-local which contains: post-install irda echo 57600 > /proc/sys/net/irda/max_baud_rate so the rate gets automatically limited. Also, I sometimes have to /etc/init.d/irda restart, but after that it works pretty reliably for me. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast
