Are you sure its no an irda-utils, kernel, stb bug? Have you tried it in jaunty alpha?
I have the same adapter. Worked in hardy AND works in jaunty alpha but not in intrepid. Did you tried to recive a file with ircp? 1) plug in the device 2) irattach irda0 -s (or sudo ifconfig irda0 up) 3) ircp -r 4) try to send some files with the phone $ ifconfig irda0 irda0 Link encap:IrLAP HWaddr d0:3f:1b:58 UP RUNNING NOARP MTU:2048 Metric:1 RX packets:55 errors:5 dropped:2 overruns:0 frame:3 TX packets:61 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:8 RX bytes:1127 (1.1 KB) TX bytes:770 (770.0 B) $ dmesg [...] [ 218.853406] usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2 [ 219.115633] usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 219.827269] irda_init() [ 219.834667] NET: Registered protocol family 23 [ 220.005426] SigmaTel STIr4200 IRDA/USB found at address 2, Vendor: 66f, Product: 4200 [ 220.040830] stir4200: IrDA: Registered SigmaTel device irda0 [ 220.044745] usbcore: registered new interface driver stir4200 [ 568.523978] irlap_change_speed(), setting speed to 9600 [ 610.118037] irlap_change_speed(), setting speed to 115200 [ 613.116398] IrLAP, no activity on link!
