But one thing to keep in mind: lirc_serial will *only* work on serial ports at the traditional legacy addresses: [ 3.417241] Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 4 ports, IRQ sharing enabled [ 3.667151] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A [ 3.917158] serial8250: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A [ 3.923633] 00:05: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A [ 3.929590] 00:06: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A If the ports on that card are using different I/O addresses or irq numbers, they won't work. Generally speaking though, with lirc_serial: 'setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none' -> 'modprobe lirc_serial' -> start lircd. -- Jarod Wilson ja...@wi... |
