But I have a problem. IrDa on my Gericom notebook works for me (kernel 2.6.6 to 2.6.11) with via-ircc module. But my internet connection with my phone using GPRS is not stable. Sometimes a got disconnected after 2-3 minutes, sometimes after more then one hour. When I use usb irda dongle on the same computer I have never such problems. It looks that via-ircc kernel module is broken, but I am not 100% sure. Did anyone else experienced same problems?
