Edited /etc/irda/drivers to include
irattach /dev/ttyS0 (or
whatever your "serial" IrDA port is, WH).
Also /etc/modules.conf
contains alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty.
irattach then
echo 3 > /proc/sys/net/irda/debug to see
what's going on.
modprobe irlan
I had to
echo 9 > /proc/sys/net/irda/slot_timeout (use 90 for
newer kernels!) in order to have the NetbeamIR recognized.
Otherwise I was only getting a bunch of "media busy" messages, and
no actual discovery of the NetbeamIR. 9 is the smallest value that
worked for me.
renamed /etc/irda/network.orig to /etc/irda/network and edited
/etc/irda/network.opts for my IP config. Also copied
/etc/pcmcia/shared to /etc/irda (this file is apparently missing
from the distribution).
I also had to comment out grep_stab $1 < /var/run/stab
(line 131) in /etc/irda/shared.
For some reason it fails, spitting a "usage" message.
moved laptop in range, the NetbeamIR is discovered, irlan0 created
and config'ed.
transferred data at 7 kb/s, both ways: ping, ftp, telnet. Yaho!
