Hi,<br><br>I am trying to help a little with IRDA to work in feisty out
of the box. To be able to beam files between my computer and my cell
phone I only need to do in edgy:<br><br>1. apt-get install irda-utils<br>2. edit /etc/default/irda-utils and set ENABLED="true" (it's false by default)
<br>3. restart the system (sounds stupid but restarting irda-utils
didn't help, maybe it can be broken down to reloading a module or so)<br>4.
install irda-tray which is a systray app to send/recieve files (not in
ubuntu yet, I'm working on the package right now)<br><br>it being so simple to get it working, I suggest to move
irda-utils in ubuntu-desktop, and with a packaged irda-tray, the user
only needs to enable irda in the config. We talked about this in the Ubuntu Open Week and it has been suggested I contact the list for this.<br><br>It would be a first step IMHO, bluetooth is already getting some love, let IRDA get some aswell.
<br><br>Let me know what you think,<br><br>Best regards,<br>amnesia
