I have a Toshiba TE2000 laptop (SMSC Irda device afaict) running Debian with kernel 2.6.15.1 (configured and compiled myself). I'm also using udev.

I haven't been able to get my Irda receiver working. The closest thing I've found so far is a program called toshsat1800-irdasetup, but I can't find any parameters for it that work for the laptop.

I don't have a /dev/irda, and haven't been able to find any udev rules to set it up, so I wrote one that allows /dev/ir*. When I modprobe ircomm, I get ircomm0 etc.

Here are the irda related lines in my kernel config:

CONFIG_IRDA=y
CONFIG_IRLAN=m
CONFIG_IRCOMM=m
CONFIG_IRDA_ULTRA=y
CONFIG_IRDA_CACHE_LAST_LSAP=y
CONFIG_IRDA_FAST_RR=y
# CONFIG_IRDA_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_IRTTY_SIR=m
# CONFIG_DONGLE is not set
CONFIG_IRPORT_SIR=m
# CONFIG_DONGLE_OLD is not set
CONFIG_SMC_IRCC_FIR=y


If anyone is able to help me I would greatly appreciate it.
