I'm addressing you of this problem of mine because someone out there might already know the answer so I don't have to dig through all those kernel sources. I'm trying to get my Ericsson R380s phone to talk to my Pismo PowerBook. For some reason it plainly does not work. I cannot be configuring wrong all that IrDA protocol stuff, so there must be something fundamentally wrong. I suppose IrCOMM only supports SIRs emulating the 16550A serial chip, and from the kernel log one can notice that the PowerBook seems to utilize Z8530 chips which I suppose is a different thing altogether. Can I just snatch some Z8530 code from other driver sources, e.g. the stuff for the old TurboChannel DECstations which used this chip for their keyboard etc. i/o? I'm just running quite short on time, since this is really needed for the CEO of our company, since I persuaded him to get a PowerBook to run Linux on... sheesh. Now, anyone who has succesfully got any IrDA devices to work with the PowerBook IrDA port? any suggestions? -topi ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
