What am I missing trying to get my nokia 8250 and my Thinkpad R51 to talk over the irda port?
I have compiled the kernel with IR support.
What I am trying:
put my phone into IR receive mode and put it in front of the IR port
irattach /dev/ttyS1 -s **no output or error messages
ifconfig irda0 up
Code:
root@darkstar:~# ifconfig
irda0 Link encap:IrLAP HWaddr 00:00:00:00
UP RUNNING NOARP MTU:2048 Metric:1
RX packets:200 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:3436 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

and then irdadump shows:
Code:

irdadump just keeps on running until I kill it with ctrl-c.
After a short time the phone automatically goes out of IR receive mode, should I mount the phone somewhere or what next?
Many thanks for any ideas,
mark
