By doing two successive modprobes, the module is loaded. Hi! I just upgraded my I8100's BIOS to A10. Looks like IRDA works better now. At least I have no trouble loading the smc-ircc module anymore:-) Maybe that's a fix from kernel 2.4.18 which I installed at the same occasion, not sure. Anyway, Running /etc/init.d/irda start I see activity in irdadump. Since I don't have any IRDA devices I can't go further from here... I was just curious wether it works or not after reading this thread. Here is my configuration: In /etc/modutils/irda I have the following line: alias irda0 smc-ircc (don't forget to update-modutils;-) This is my /etc/irda.conf: #irda.conf Version: 1.0 IRDADEV=irda0 #DONGLE= # specify dongle type DISCOVERY=-s ENABLE=yes # if you don't need to start irattach, set "no" I have FIR enabled in my BIOS, not sure about the other settings. -- Gruss, Tobias ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tobias Hunger The box said: 'Windows 95 or better' tobias@berlin-consortium.org So I installed Linux. -------------------------------------------------------------------
