This is a new report for the case originally reported at Bug 84565, before the time of hal, hal-info, etc. Not sure is the correct component anaconda/irda-utils/hal but anyway: After installing Fedora 7 to my Acer Aspire 1692 laptop /etc/sysconfig/irda has: DEVICE=/dev/ttyS2 But my system has /dev/ttyS1 and if I want to use GPRS over IrDA then I must have DEVICE=irda0. Can this detection be automatic? Or some (device specific) logic be added to hal?
I'd rather keep it as is because using one of the FIR drivers instead of the irtty driver is documented in the irattach man page as not stable and mature. I'd like to stay on the safer side and use /dev/ttyS? as the default and let the user decide he/she needs either speed or stability.
