today, i have installed Mandrake 9.2 on my PC. Now i'm trying to install my IrDA device and Nokia 6610 Modem. how do i do that, i'm not a frequent user of Linux.
i plugged in the IrDA device, make a hardware detection .. not detecting. is there any other process.
this is going to stra'ly for TUX users.
Mandrake 9.2 is ancient. Please don't use it. Get a newer distro and I am sure IrDA will work.
Anyways you can look at following pages for more info about IrDA on Linux

Thanks eddie.
actually, this distro was bundled with a HP machine in my office. nobody wants to install linux, so i opt it out and installed at my home pc. but probs above.
will be work with Redhat Ent. version 3 or Fedora 4? m using Kingsun IrDA Adaptor.
guess fedora core 4 and (k)ubuntu 5.10 should detect it outta box.
RHL or Fedora should most probably detect it.
BTW, did you get it working?
Do post it in Open Source next time you'll get more information there.
