yes, this is exactly the case. and I'm not a die-hard Apple fan. I like the way this hardware looks like and I remember the times when the 68000 was the academic example of how to construct a microprocessor while the Intels were the counterexample. yet, I've always been using PCs until last february. I have really an extremely limited knowledge of what is behind this screen and I hardly have any idea of what some questions in the kernel configuration are refering to. anyhow: as Guido already pointed out, the module loads and works perfectly, I'm curious to see if it can be loaded by default instead of ir-usb and what other steps are stricly necessary and automatizable at boot time to make syncronization a fairly simple task. many thanks for the prompt reply!
