That is about it, You are done with the configuration.
14.2 Testing IrDA
Now start the IrDA service and watch the system log. Hopefully, you should see
something similar the the following:
# service irda start
Starting IrDA: [
OK
]
# dmesg | tail
...
ttyS1: LSR safety check engaged!
pnp: Device 00:09 activated.
nscircc, chip>init
nscircc, Found chip at base=0x02e
nscircc, driver loaded (Dag Brattli)
IrDA: Registered device irda0
nscircc, Using dongle: IBM31T1100 or Temic TFDS6000/TFDS6500
This verifies that you have got the proper modules in place. The last step is to
verify that we are able both of transmitting and receiving traffic. So activate IR on
the remote device, e.g. your phone, and place the two IRports eyetoeye. Then
do a dump of the traffic:
# irdadump i irda0

...xid:cmd 62a9cc0d > ffffffff S=6 s=* redneck hint=0400 [ Computer ]

...xid:cmd ffffffff < 6f700c8d S=1 s=0 (14)

You're all set! The first I did after this was to use
irobex_palm3 <SISfile>
to
upload and install GnuBox and some other programs on my phone. To do this
you need to have the
openobex
and
openobexapps
packages installed and your
phone must supports the OBEX protocol. Pretty neat!
15 Modem
The Ferrari 3400 has a Smart Link soft modem installed. After the Ferrari 3400
was produced Smart Link was acquired by Conexant. Conexant has a strange
policy when it comes to providing drivers for it products. Linux drivers are not
