[ltp] Thinkpad R40 and IrDA to a mobile phone

[Konstantin]

hi,

sorry it was my fault. Here are the changed commands, which I've tested on a IBM T40 and Linux 2.6.6-mm4

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

irattach irda0 -s is not necessary

My modules.conf settings doesn't worked. Thx for Marius Gedminas for the settings, I will try them later, maybe this will do it.

I can't use IRDA with my wlan card, I have an external Netgear ...

Good luck

Greetz

Konstantin

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