Connection of Gericom with Siemens

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Hello to all!

I would like to connect Gericom-box with Siemend M65 A 103.
Ihave read the IrDA-Howto and some other texts.
So:

Mandrake Linux release 10.0 (Official) for i586
Kernel 2.6.3-7mdk on an i686, compiler: 3.3.2

BIOS setup -> IrDA (not FIR) done

irda-utils-0.9.16.tar.gz installed

modprobe irda
modprobe ircomm
modprobe ircomm-tty


###### ifconfig

....
