[irda-users] Irda Setup Toshiba 1800-100

[<fi...@gm...>]

Hi,

This is how i got irda working with the Toshiba 1800-100 and Linux
with Debian etch. I assume that this works with other Toshiba laptops
and other distributions.

Install irda-utils. Then create a script  with:

/sbin/rmmod -f smsc-ircc2; setserial /dev/ttyS2 uart none ;
/usr/sbin/modconf --load-only smsc-ircc2 ; irattach irda0 -s; irattach
irda0 -s

Run this script as root when you want to use irda. You will see with
ifconfig a new interface irda0 (the script does irattach twice because
the first time it fails in my system...).

Then get your activated irda device close to the sensor and that's it.
I can use wammu with my Nokia 6021 to see the agenda, and I can also
mount the directories using obexfs.

I have in my fstab the line

obexfs#-i       /media/mobile   fuse    user,fsname=obexfs#-i  0       0

You need to create the directory /media/mobile first. Then mount
/media/mobile will mount your mobile phone through irda. I can read
and delete, but not write for some odd reason...

I hope this helps.
