Hi Radek, Thanks for your feedback. MacOS X is based on FreeBSD, (just another *nix variant, similar to Linux) so there is some basis for my inquiry. I've recompiled OpenSource Linux sources for MacOS X on various occasions, with varying degrees of success, mainly depending on the compiler options, so if open sources for the Sigmatel driver are available for Linux, I'd like to try doing so with those sources, unless someone's already got it up and running. If no open sources are available, I don't know where else to look, since EuroCase only provided precompiled Windoze drivers with the device.

If so, can you provide any advice? This list is about IrDA in Linux, not MacOS X. You will most probably don't get answer here. Using Linux is probably wrong option too, because of differen licensing of Linux and MacOS X. Radek |
