14 Infrared
IrDA support is provided by means of the package irdautils, so first make sure that this package is installed on your system.
My first attempt started with changing the DEVICE in /etc/sysconfig/irda to /dev/ttyS1 and fire up the IrDA service (/etc/init.d/irda start). Voilà! Watching the log messages verified that all modules were loaded and I had got a new device, irda0, to play with. The device showed up with ifconfig as well. It was just too easy! And yes, although all looked perfect it did not work. Trying the irdadump reviled just a big silence.
14.1 Configuring IrDA
To make a long story short, the IRchip in the Ferrari supports FIR (as well as SIR) and FIR is the default, while IrDA by default uses SIR. FIR is what you want
