[ltp] Thinkpad R40 and IrDA to a mobile phone

[Konstantin]

hi,

now Step by Step, hope it'll help.

cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig

After that enter ( always press enter on the points I tell you
Device Drivers -> Networking Support -> IrDA (infrared) subsystem support 
-> Infrared-port device drivers 

there you will find a NSC PC87108/PC87338 

choose it as modul, because you need the io, irq  and dongle_id stuff for the modul, without it won't work.

Sorry for the stupid explenation, maybe you missed the name :/

If you won't find it there, go to the .config file and search for this: 
# CONFIG_NSC_FIR is not set

and change it to:

CONFIG_NSC_FIR=m


after that you must see it under make menuconfig or what ever you use.

Hope it'll fix your problem ;)

If you get the module, good luck with the other stuff, read the modules.conf stuff from over people or use my stuff(I wrote a script for). You got the three lines in my privios mail:


-----cut--------
#!/bin/bash
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.6-mm4/kernel/drivers/net/irda/nsc-ircc.ko io=0x2f8 irq=3 dma=3 dongle_id=0x09
modprobe ircomm-tty
irattach irda0
-----cut--------

you have to change the path for your kernel version, I use 2.6.6-mm4 at the moment!

Greetz

Konstantin

Building an operating system without source code is like buying
a self-assembly Space Shuttle with no instructions.
