Hi,

I have a Sony Vaio PCG 745 with a infrared device.
I want use the infrared device to communicate with a cell
phone and running ppp.

I configured the infrared device to use the irq 3 at port 0x2f8-0x2ff.

This works fine on Windows98. I want do the same on FreeBSD ;-)

The kernel detect the second serial port,  but I cannot
send and receive any data. Does FreeBSD support infrared
devices? Which protocol (ASK_IR, IrDA_FIR)?

I'm using FreeBSD 5.0-current from mid April on my laptop.

$ dmesg
sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0
sio0: type 16550A
sio1 at port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa0
sio1: type 16550A

$ ls -lag /dev/cua*
