Gents,
I had this kernel module loaded from boot:
| Code Sample | dsl@ttyp0[dsls]$ lsmod|grep irda
irda 90352 0 [via-ircc] |
Obviously, DSL took a liking to some hardware on the Epia MB and decided to load the via-ircc module. Haven't got a clue what it does though so I removed it and replaced it by the irda module
included in irda-utils.unc into the kernel,
| Code Sample | # rmmod via-ircc
# modprobe irda
# lsmod |grep irda
irda 90352 0
# setserial /dev/ttyS1
/dev/ttyS1, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3
# setserial /dev/ttyS0
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
# modprobe irport
# modprobe irtty
I've got a serial port here:
# setserial /dev/ttyS0
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
#irattach /dev/ttyS0 -s
#cat /var/log/messages
...
Jan 11 04:21:09 weksarahdio user.info irattach: executing: 'echo weksarahdio > /proc/sys/net/irda/devname'
Jan 11 04:21:09 weksarahdio user.info irattach: executing: 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/irda/discovery'
Jan 11 04:21:09 weksarahdio user.info irattach: Starting device irda0 |
But again to no avail !
The dongle is plugged into this 5-pin connector on the motherboard. I suppose that the ttyS0 is the serial port so irattach /dev/ttyS0 is unlikely to receive any packets !
When I deactivate the FIR thingy in Bios, the via-ircc is not loaded which suggests there's a linux-ready device lurking there.
So it would seem that I've got to attach my irda stack to this through this mysterious via-ircc module.
Cheers.
