Are you tring to get fast infrared? If so, you will need to uncomment the
lines in /etc/modutils/irda:
---- /etc/modultils/irda -----
# To use the NSC driver on a Thinkpad laptop: uncomment the following:
options nsc-ircc dongle_id=0x09
alias irda0 nsc-ircc
------------------------------
Make sure your /etc/irda.conf uses
IRDADEV=irda
/dev/irda comes from the NSC irda module. Make sure that is a part of the
kernel you have.
If you are running devfs, you may also need to add these lines to
/etc/irda.conf so devfsd can autoload the ircomm module if needed:
---- /etc/modultils/irda -----
# Devfs autoload
alias /dev/ircomm0 ircomm-tty
alias /dev/ircomm1 ircomm-tty
------------------------------
If you need more detail about the individual steps, let me know.
