IRDA
Hi
I'm determined that one day I may actually be able to get my Irda
port working on my Debian GNU/Linux laptop. The Irda port is
/dev/ircomm0.
I've now found out that although I'm used to using Irda with and SuSE
latop - plug in hard drives - the list of instructions that is used
to start the software is completely diferent than those used to start
the same software in an SuSE system.
Looking into the docs I find that I can edit the /etc/irda/drivers
file so that /dev/ircomm0 is defined. Then when I type in
'/etc/init.d/irmanager start' it says ...
Starting IrDA manager: sh: /proc/sys/net/irda/devname: No such file
or directory. Looking at it there is nothing in /sys/net. No
config files or anything.
I've attached /dev/ircomm0 which is the IF port. Also tried
Irdadump but that doesn't work either. Probably because I can't
start irmanager.
Can anyone explain why I can't get Irmanager to start ? Must be a
good reason for it. I've installed .. irda-common 0.9.5-2 ... and
... irda-tools 0.9.5-2 ... is there any other Irda package that I
should install ?
I was able to meet Nokubi Takatsugu at the New York Linux Expo at the
Javits Center last month. He's a really nice fella but he says he's
not very good at English. Which probably explains why I can't get
any help with my Irda problems.
Thanks
