Add the following to /etc/mdules.conf: alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty alias char-major-60 ircomm_tty alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty The latest irda-utils package (should appear in rawhide soon) does this automatically. |
I installed the IrDA RPM and started it up (/etc/rc.d/init.d/irda start), but the startup fails, putting the following error messages into the log. In particular, it can't seem to find the tty-ldisc-11 module.
