I did some further research: I installed linux-image2.6.28-4-generic (from jaunty) rebooted and the irda worked.
I think it's can be done with older(hardy's) kernels too. If the bug is in the kernel then the older kernel will do it. -- frezees trying to connect 6610i via sigmatel stir4200 irda https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290010 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
