I last looked at irda, when my laptop was a 486/745, and thought that the hardware still looked more or less like a 8250 variant. I had previously used /dev/ttyS1 (where that was an IR port) to dump debugging data.
Looking at the documentation for more recent hardware, I find this isn't really the case any more for all hardware. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
