[irda-users] Help needed on USB-IrDA adapter

[Gaetano S. <gae...@li...>]

Hello,
I've an SBS MA615 USB-Infrared adapter, when I plug in it I can see the 
following in dmesg output:

hub.c: new USB device 00:1d.2-1, assigned address 5
usbserial.c: PL-2303 converter detected
usbserial.c: PL-2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for 
devfs)

so this is a Prolific 2303 USB-Serial converter with an IrDA led :-)

then I run (as root):
# irattach /dev/ttyUSB0 -s (the prompt returns without any output)

in dmesg I can see:

divert: not allocating divert_blk for non-ethernet device irda0
IrDA: Registered device irda0

all seems to be ok, now I place my Nokia 6100 in front of the IrDA adapter 
(enabling the IrDA port) and:
# irdadump

No response... what's wrong???

Note: I've installed the current release of irda-utils, but the /etc/irda 
directory doesn't exist, why?


Thank you for support
