Dear Friends,
sometimes before, i heard about MA620 (or compatbile ES620) IrDA adapter
not working or not able to be configured... I am able to do it with new
kernel 2.6.8.1. I just want to share with you for our update.
1. Kernel is 2.6.8.1, which is having support for MA600, but it works
fine for MA620/ES620 also.
2. Ensure that the following modules available and loaded.
a. uhci_hcd
b. ircomm-tty
c. pl2303
d. ma600-sir
e. irda
f. irtty-sir
3. make as script called IrDA_Start.sh with the following content:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Minimal stuff required to get the MA620 USB IrDA dongle recognised by
# the kernel. Version 1 -- works with unpatched kernel, but only at
# 9600bps.
modprobe uhci_hcd
modprobe pl2303
modprobe irda
**echo 9600 > /proc/sys/net/irda/max_baud_rate
modprobe irtty-sir
modprobe ma600-sir
modprobe ircomm-tty
irattach /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 -d ma600 -s
exit 0
4. I tested it with my Nokia 6610. It works fine. irdadump confirmed it.
Since I don't have GPRS I can dial into internet but not able to
connect. That is fine.
5. I used "Kandy phone manager" tool availale in my KDE desktop, which
works fine with this IrDA, except a few unsupported commands.
