[irda-users] Problem with no discovey for SIR on Fedora Core 3

[Donald M B. <don...@vo...>]

Hi All,

I wonder if I might seek the list's help? I recently upgraded to FC 3
from RH 9 and irda stopped working.

The symptom is that irdadump can't find my phone, just itself.

I learnt that the modules had had some name changes and so I
revised /etc/modprobe.conf appropriately:-

#  Infrared

# IrDA over a normal serial port, or a serial port compatible IrDA port
(SIR)
alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty-sir

# IrCOMM (for printing, PPP, Minicom etc)
alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty

# IRLAN module
alias irlan0 irlan

# To use the FIR driver. This applies only to the specific device!!!
#alias irda0 nsc-ircc

# IrNET module...
alias char-major-10-187 irnet

But no joy. Here's infrared stack:-

/root# lsmod | grep ir
irtty_sir               8513  2
sir_dev                19021  1 irtty_sir
irnet                  25221  0
ircomm_tty             29001  0
ircomm                 14021  1 ircomm_tty
irda                  122877  4 sir_dev,irnet,ircomm_tty,ircomm
ppp_generic            36116  2 irnet,ppp_async
crc_ccitt               2113  2 irda,ppp_async
/root#

Any help would be much appreciated as nothing untoward appears in the
logs.

Many Thanks

Donald.
