Yes, IrDA in the 2.4 kernels is broken. ;(

In the past, I've been sending my irda stuff (which is now a part of Dag's patch) to Linus in small little chunks, but unfortunately it never got accepted either for reason(s) unknown. This was back in the -test1 days.
I, too, would also like to know what, if anything, is going to happen with IrDA. It'd be good to have IrDA working again. _____ |_____| ------------------------------------------------- ---+---+- | | Russell King rmk@arm.linux.org.uk --- --- | | | | http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/personal/aboutme.html / / | | +-+-+ --- -+- / | THE developer of ARM Linux |+| /|\ / | | | --- | +-+-+ ------------------------------------------------- /\\\ | - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
