I'm looking for an USB IrDA dongle for connecting a laptop to a Nokia
6610. The biggest problem seems to be to find a dongle that works
with Linux. The Actisys IR-2000U seems to be a good one but it is
impossible to get. Have you recently bought a dongle that you can use
with Linux? Which one? Are there any models I should avoid?
