Motherboard adapters

[<aj...@ik...>]

Hi,=20

I have a MSI K7T Pro2 (MS-6330) Motherboard with an internal irda conne=
ctor.
According to the manual it supports SIR/CIR/ASKIR/HPSIR.

With a quick search I couldn't find clear information which adapters ar=
e
compatible with the motherboard. I think Actisys IR210L is (they don't
mention my exact motherboard but other MSI ones), but how about the Asu=
s
IRM-100 which seems to be cheap and readily available? Is that only for=
 Asus
motherboards or are the connectors standardized?

Then the more important question: Should I expect problems trying to ge=
t
that sort of combination to work with lirc?=20

Some people have reported negative experiences with IR210L on the list =
when
trying to use lirc-sir. If I've understood correctly my motherboard sho=
uld
be able to do Consumer IR too. Does that resolve the problem? Does CIR/=
ASKIR
require special support from the adapter too or is the capability just
dependent on the motherboard model?

My other option is to build/buy a serial port receiver.=20
