Re: [irda-users] RedHat/Compaq Armada E500/mobile phone problem

[<ra...@en...>]

Hi,

I'm using Compaq Armada E500 on a Mandrake Linux 9.0beta and infrared is 
working perfectly. What I know for making FIR working is to unload 
serial driver, and then modprobe smc-ircc. Serial must be loaded after 
smc-ircc !
No more to do !

For me, I had to recompile the kernel since serial was not built as 
module :-(

    If you have any questions, don't hesitate.

            Mantis.
