I've been trying to get IrDA working under DSL - I've managed to make things work on the same system under DSL-N - but have hit a problem.
Things go well to start with:
# apt-get install setserial
# setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart none
# modprobe smc-ircc ircc_irq=3 ircc_dma=3 ircc_sir=0x2f8 ircc_fir=0x280
# dmesg
...
Overriding FIR address 0x0280
Overriding SIR address 0x02f8
SMC IrDA Controller found
IrCC version 2.0, firport 0x280, sirport 0x2f8 dma=3, irq=3
IrDA: Registered device irda0
# apt-get install irda-utils
Then, under DSL-N (and according to Google under 2.4.x was well) the next command is:
# irattach irda0 -s
However, DSL really, really doesn't like this and hangs with the caps lock/scroll lock lights flashing - in all time I've been blundering around in DSL, I never managed to do this before 
The /etc/modutils/irda-utils file contains the line "alias irda0 smc-ircc" so I tried the following:
# mknod /dev/irda0 c 160 0 [from Google]
# irattach irda0 -s
Which also results in DSL hanging
"ls /dev/ir* turns up ircomm0, ircomm1, irlpt0, irlpt1 & irnet and searching on irda0 using gtkfind from / and all subdirectories finds nothing.
Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be?
