[irda-users] using linux to sniff

[Mark L. <ml...@wi...>]

I'd like to use my linux box to sniff some IR activity between two devices.
I was hoping it would be really simple, e.g.
    ifconfig irda0 promisc
    irdadump
but my linux box participates in the discovery and one of the other devices
seems to get locked out.

So, hopefully this isn't just an annoying FAQ, but how do I make the linux
stack listen and not communicate?

Somewhat related question: are the irda-users archives searchable rather
than just pageable?

TIA,
