Hi, I'd like to use the SigmaTel USB IrDA dongle to connect my computer (FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE) and my mobile phone (Samsung X600). According to my log, the dongle is recognized:
/kernel: ugen0: Sigmatel Inc IrDA/USB Bridge, rev 1.10/0.08, addr 2 So what do I do now? I've searched everywhere and there seems to be no software I can use with the dongle (birda, lirc, gnokii all support only serial IrDA dongles at best). Is anyone working on something to make use of USB IrDA dongles on FreeBSD? If not, does anyone have some sort of alternative solution? Some Linux mini distribution with irda-tools running inside bochs or VMware? I installed VMware 3.2 from the ports because it is supposed to now support mapping of USB devices, but since it is a native Linux application it would need a true, mapped usbdevfs under /compat/linux/proc/bus/usb to actually work. Is anyone working on this? I know that almost exactly two years ago Bruce M Simpson posted on freebsd-hackers about this issue, but I have no info on what has been done. Any info will be greatly appreciated, I'm interested in making this work even if I have to spend a few months coding everything myself. Thanks & best regards, ALeine ___________________________________________________________________ WebMail FREE http://mail.austrosearch.net _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
