Description Daniel Qarras 2007-11-01 17:23:37 UTC

Description of problem:
irda-utils does not seem to contain any way to provide or set needed connection
parameters for an IrDA connection. This means that one needs to, e.g., execute
manually a script every time when creating an IrDA connection. The parameters
I'm talking about are needed especially with GPRS connections (numerous phone
models need them):

# Adjust IrDA settings for GPRS
echo 115200 > /proc/sys/net/irda/max_baud_rate
echo 2000 > /proc/sys/net/irda/max_tx_data_size
echo 1000 > /proc/sys/net/irda/min_tx_turn_time
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/irda/max_tx_window

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
irda-utils-0.9.18-3.fc8

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Notice lack of means to provide above parameters in a config file
  
Actual results:
Parameters not supported.

Expected results:
Parameters supported.

This bug has been triaged

Comment 5 Daniel Qarras 2009-12-04 19:43:01 UTC

As more and more mobile phones come with Bluetooth, not IrDA, nowadays I'm not sure is this worth the effort? OTOH, LIRC seems now finally be heading to kernel:

Comment 6 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2011-07-15 12:16:17 UTC

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 7 Dmitry Butskoy 2011-07-15 16:50:33 UTC

Let it be all in one place (ie. put this staff to NM bug).
