Hi,
I am currently trying to get the IrDA
stuff working in my SatellitePro
6000, but with no success so far.
I already read, that it's some SMC
hardware contained in the PCI-to-ISA
bridge (M1533) of the ALi chipset. Which
makes me wondern, if I should
go for the ali-ircc or smc-ircc module
of my current 2.4.19-pre7 kernel.
But I think, before I try to load a
module, findchip (part of the
irda-common package in Debian Woody)
should mention the related
hardware.
According to
http://www.pasta.cs.uit.no/pipermail/linux-irda/2001-October/003262.html
there is the problem of activating the
SMC chip first. The tools setpci
and setsmc haven't changed the behaviour
on my SatellitePro 6000.
On the other hand it's quite unlikely,
that setpci/setsmc written for a
SP4600 will also work on a SP6000, even
if the IrDA-component seems to
be identical.
Any ideas about further approaches
to this problem?
