My Notebook called "Terra Anima 2200" is based on the "Asus A3N". I am trying to get IrDA working, but have no success up to now.

In general: Do I have a chance, when findchip -dv (out of net-wireless/irda-utils-0.9.16) does not find a working chip?

Finally I got it working, but the only way was with those kernel-settings:
Code:
Device Drivers  --->
    Networking support  --->
        <*> IrDA (infrared) subsystem support  --->
            <M>   IrLAN protocol
            <*>   IrCOMM protocol
            <M>   IrNET protocol
            [*]   Ultra (connectionless) protocol
            [*]   Cache last LSAP
            [*]   Fast RRs (low latency)
            Infrared-port device drivers  --->
                <M> IrTTY (uses Linux serial driver)

This means I could not compile IrDA and IrCOMM as modules.

Upon boot this shows me /dev/ircomm* devices (I use udev).

Afterwards I used
Code:
# modprobe sir_dev
# modprobe irtty_sir
# irattach /dev/ttyS1 -s

This made irdadump to show some traffic.

Can anyone tell me, why I had to compile those parts statically to the kernel?

hi,

I know that there is no point with your previous post, but I was wondering if you were able to use the BisonCam of you Asus A3N under gentoo.
I search on the web to make it and I found some website where people are working on it but with no real success for the moment.
Hope you can help me.

Thx
Doud
