Created attachment 112905 [details] pnp-patch from: http://dhost.info/mauritzius/down/2.6.10-rc2-smsc-ircc2-pnp.patch An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you. Still an issue here. fc4 with kernel 2.6.12-1.1390_FC4. # modprobe smsc-ircc2 FATAL: Error inserting smsc_ircc2 (/lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1390_FC4/kernel/drivers/net/irda/smsc-ircc2.ko): No such device => this is because the device was not initialised (pnp) Mass update to all FC4 bugs: An update has been released (2.6.13-1.1526_FC4) which rebases to a new upstream kernel (2.6.13.2). As there were ~3500 changes upstream between this and the previous kernel, it's possible your bug has been fixed already. Please retest with this update, and update this bug if necessary. Thanks. why are you so sure this driver is the correct one btw ? googling for "benQ Joybook 7000 smsc_ircc2" only finds this bug. Well, there are a few more hits on Google - but not many I must admit: http://www.google.de/search?q=joybook+ircc2 Searching for how to get the infrared to work, since it was not autodetected, I found information of it to be a smsc_ircc2. The only difference with this device, as I have heard, is that it's not initialised e.g. by bios (PNP), but that separate PNP-init inside the driver is necessary. With the attached patch it works. And I have been told that the only thing this patch does is PNP-init the device. After recompiling the kernel with the patch, I can run irdadump and see my mobile phone etc. So it works for me. ok, I'll throw this in the next build, and also see if I can find out why this hasn't gone upstream yet. It's been around for a while judging from the filename. 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 has been released as an update for FC4. Please retest with this update, as a large amount of code has been changed in this release, which may have fixed your problem. Thank you. Fixed in latest official kernel-release. Thanks a lot. Fixed in latest official kernel-release. Thanks a lot. |
