I hope to make some significant : progress this weekend, which may or may not result in a vaguely functional : IrLAP netgraph node. Then I need to write an IrLMP node, a TinyTP node and : an IrCOMM node. Then you'll be able to HotSync, assuming your laptop's IR : port shows up as a serial device. =) Personally, I'd love to be able to use the IRda port since it is faster than the serial port on my WinCE machines. However, I have less than zero time for this. Buying an ethernet card fixed this problem (which really was a problem on how to get netbsd boot images to the wince machine, but I digress). Even if we have irda support in the kernel, hotsync takes an additional protocol layer, kinda like FTP but not really. It is the same as having IP but no ftpd I guess is what I'm trying to say. Microsoft doesn't document the hotsync protocol at all :-(. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
