Hi group, My company is developing a hand-held terminal, that runs Linux operating system, kernel 2.4.10. The terminal is sort of a ruggedized PDA,and to communicate to the terminal, we also made a docking station. This docking station has IrDA hardware, compatible to the Actisys dongle. The terminal also has a IrDA tranceiver, so the idea is to 'talk' to the terminal via IrDA. The terminal also has an ethernet connection, so to install software we use this interface. However we would like to use the IrDA option to run telnet/ftp etc to control the terminal. At this moment we have the stack running, that is, the PC discovers the terminal (so tells me /proc/net/irda/discovery) and the terminal sees the PC. I can transmit and receive data via /dev/ircomm0 However I would like to get irlan running. On the PC, I start the stack by irattach /dev/ttyS0 -d actisys -s On the terminal: irattach /dev/ttyS1 The terminal has the IrDA stack build in the kernel, so not as modules. On the PC, I then try insmod irlan and next, ifconfig irlan0 xxxx netmask xxxx However the ifconfig command does not return. The PC keeps waiting until I press ctrl-C. I also tried to add access=x to the insmod command, but that does not make any difference. What am I doing wrong? Cheers, Kees. |
