Hi, i want to sync my palm, too :-)
could you post what serial.conf contains? setserial cant detect my serial ports. what did i wrong? Have benh kernel on pismo firewire, dmesg shows that macserial detected modem and irda. also cant use modem, because setserial has no entry? thanks, Michael On 09 Mar 2002 01:59:00 +0100 Michel Dänzer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Fre, 2002-03-08 at 20:55, Pan wrote: > > I got my kernel compiled with all the modules needed for irda sync, (the > > benh tree) and I got all the software installed... > > > > The problem is that the palm and the laptop never really get connected. > > > > With irdump I can see that it IS getting data, and a lot of it, but I > > just don't know why it doesn't work. > > irdadump also dumps data when there is no connection, are you sure you > see data from the Palm? > > > Sometimes it just doesn't connect.
