IrDA support

[maurom]

I've trying to do connect a SonyEricsson K300 via IrDA with the same
dongle,

a MA-620. I had to do the following:



Load the needed modules:



> 

> modprobe irda

> modprobe ircomm

> modprobe irtty_sir

> 



Create the following devices (I think that udev should be doing this)



> 

> mknod /dev/ircomm0 c 161 0

> mknod /dev/ircomm1 c 161 1

> chmod 666 /dev/ir*

> 



Start irattach:



> 

> irattach /dev/ttyUSB0 -d ma600 -s

> 



Set the speed at 9600 (if all does work, we can increase it)



> 

> echo 9600 > /proc/sys/net/irda/max_baud_rate

> 



To check if the phone is detected, issue the following command



> 

> cat /proc/net/irda/discovery

> > > > 

> > 

> > It should list the phone as connected
