Package: irda-utils
Version: 0.9.16-11
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***
IRDA has worked on my laptop on all kernels up to and including
2.6.16. With 2.6.17 (linux-image-2.6.17-1-686 ver 2.6.17-2), I am
unable to sync my Palm, and irdadump doesn't output anything.

I guess this may either be 2.6.17 having broken IRDA, or something
changed so that irda-utils needs to be updated. Here is the IRDA part
of the 2.6.17 changelog:

    * TOIM3232 dongle support: Here goes a patch for supporting
      TOIM3232 based serial IrDA dongles
    * nsc-ircc: support for yet another Thinkpad IrDA chipset, a
      variation of the nsc-ircc PC8739x chipset, found in some IBM
      Thinkpad laptops
    * nsc-ircc: Enable PnP support for the nsc-ircc chipset
    * Support for Sigmatel STIR421x chip 

I do in fact have a Thinkpad, a 4 years old T23. findchip reports
nothing.

Here's what is written to the log when /etc/init.d/irda-utils start is
run:

Jul  9 21:58:52 localhost kernel: ttyS1: LSR safety check engaged!
Jul  9 21:58:52 localhost irattach: Stopping device /dev/ttyS1
Jul  9 21:58:52 localhost irattach: ioctl(SIOCGIFFLAGS): No such device
Jul  9 21:58:52 localhost irattach: exiting ...

If you believe this is a kernel bug, feel free to reassign.
