irda on dell notebook

irda on dell notebook

[Ralf Orlowski]

Hi,

does anyone here know, how I can get the irda on my dell notebook to work on
a plain vanilla kernel 2.4.23 version?

My irda system works fine with an SuSE-Linux kernel and it also worked with
an older 2.4 kernel with ac-patch. But with the plain original kernel (in
several versions) I can't get my irda to work.

Can someone give me a hint, what I'm doing wrong, that irda refuses to work
on my system?

Bye 

Ralf

Hi,

don't know if it would help you, but on my Dell I8600, I needed the
following adjustement to talk to my Sony Clié over IRDA :

echo 1000 > /proc/sys/net/irda/min_tx_turn_time
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/irda/max_tx_window

I run 2.6.0-test11-gentoo-r2.

Regs,
Charles
