Hi, since I saw it between two thinkpads on Win2K, I want it on Linux
and FreeBSD too. On Win2k, all you have to configure is direct
connection with the IR port and if one machines IR sees the other
machines IR you can send files to the other, it is rather fast, really
usable. IMHO faster than PLIP
dmesg on FreeBSD shows the IR chip, but I havent seen anything like that
in the Fedora dmesg.
Saw some howtos in the net, they are probably outdated, no idea which
modules are needed etc. Surprised that Thinkpadsa are not better
supported by Redhat.
I can do modrobe irnet, but something seems to be missing. What I expect
is to do ifconfig and to see an interface like eth0, that is usable as
usual, maybe like plip0 (as it is called on FreeBSD), like
ifconfig plip0 <myip> <yourip>
and
ifconfig plip0 <yourip> <myip>
on the other machine.
As you can see, I have understood nothing....
Thanks, H.
