[ltp] IRDA on a TP600

[Andreas Siegert]

I already had IRDA working and talking to my PalmIII on a TP600, but did not
write down how I did it. 6 weeks later it looks like I am missing some vital
part. 

Windoze reports IRDA at IRQ7, Serial at IRQ4,
tpctl (0.7.0) actually reports the same 

But /proc/interrupts does not report IRQ4 or 7 at all and thinks serial 
is on IRQ3 

cat /proc/ioports reports
02f8-02ff : serial(auto)
03f8-03ff : serial(auto)
which matches tpctl (should it on COM2?):
  serial port 1:                                     enable  COM1 0x3f8 IRQ4
  serial port 2:                                     enable  COM2 0x2f8 IRQ7

Should serial use the IP range of com2?

lsmod lists
ircomm_tty             10328   0  (autoclean)
ircomm                  8532   0  (autoclean) [ircomm_tty]

which seems fine to mee.

/etc/rc.d/serial does not do anything, all commented out.

The Kerel has serial support via modules:
CONFIG_SERIAL=m
CONFIG_SERIAL_EXTENDED=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_SHARE_IRQ=y

I have disabled the Mwave chip via the Windows Thinkpad Control program, so it 
does not grab any interrupts or I/Os.

PilotManager never talks to my PalmIII, it always times out. 

I am sure it is something totally trivial, but what?!
thx
afx
