Thanks for advices and your valuable time Jean and Werner! I was so desperate to get it working that I did a drastic "cut-down". Backed-up the system configuration, deleted partitions and reverted back to the redhat8. After installation and replacement of modules.conf with my irda settings everything works like a dream. From irdadump output I see that the system is now using some old version of irda- utils, but most importantly, it works. I'm not very happy about what I did but I didn't succeed in recompiling the kernel. Whaaaaa, this is life of a newbie :( Hmmm... Luckily I have another toshiba laptop with similar spec (just screen is smaller and cd-rom doesn't work) so I'll try redhat9 again this week. Guys, how is possible that redhat8 and old irda-utils does work even with buggy t68? What exactly in redhat9 kernel, or in new irds-utils causes the bug to appear? Thanks a million! Marek |

I fixed a race condition in kernel 2.4.20 in IrLAP, and this fix made the IrDA stack not working with the T68. By the time users discovered it, it was too late, and anyway I was not going to revert this fix, therefore I made a workaround that is scheduled to go in 2.4.22. Jean |

hi, hope this info is not obsolete or too late. redhat 9.0 (2.4.20-8 kernel) initially does brake GPRS (through SIR infrared port) internet connection using SonyEricsson T300 phone... however, if you download 2.4.20 kernel from www.kernel.org, and 2.4.21-rc3 patch, and every other patches from Jean's page (http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/IrDA/IrDA.html) and do all the echo's as described on that page, than the kernel will have working irtty driver and it is the same (or even better) situation regarding SIR infrared port connection to T300 (i guess also T68 and other) phones. i have done it and it works like a charm. regards, toshko tt...@ya... ===== Best Regards, Todor Tanevski mail: tt...@ya... tt...@ho... tod...@he... phone: +386 41 888028 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
