Question Make IrDA work...


Hello! I'd some problems the last days trying to make mi IrDA interface work, I've a Fujitso-Siemns lifebook E7010 laptop and here are some details:

this is my BIOS setting:

InfraRed: [ENABLED]
I/O Address: [2E8-2EF]
Interrupt: IRQ3
I/O Address: [400 - 43F]
DMA Channel: [DMA3]

I tried findchip -d and this is what i get:

cannibal:~# findchip -d

Couldn't find Winbond superI/O chip.

i'm using debian etch:

cannibal:/# uname -r
2.6.18-4-686

I cheeked dmesg and this is what i get:

cannibal:~# dmesg | grep "irq = 3"
serial8250: ttyS3 at I/O 0x2e8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A

I installed Irda-Utils with aptitude but it doesnt work...

Any ideas..?
