ks959_sir module doesn't connect

[Alejandro Zaro]

Hi
  I have got a Mobile Action Irda-USB dongle and it doesn't work with Ubuntu 8.04. It doesn't connect to my Nokia phone.

The module of this device is ks959_sir.

lsmod:
af_packet 23812 0
ircomm_tty 39816 0
ircomm 23812 1 ircomm_tty
irtty_sir 9728 0

ks959_sir 10752 0
irda 203068 6 ircomm_tty,ircomm,irtty_sir,sir_dev,irda_usb,ks959_sir

ifconfig irda0:

lsusb:

Then I run
sudo irattach irda0 -s
it start blinken for some seconds.

The output of this command is empty:
cat /proc/net/irda/discovery

This device is working in WinXP.

Any idea?

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

The Intrepid Ibex 8.10 Beta release was most recently announced - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/beta . It contains the 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. It would be great if you could test and verify if this is still an issue. The status is being set to Incomplete until we receive further feedback. Thanks.

I have this USB to IrDA adapter ad work great on Ubuntu 8.10. Onyl one issue: bitrate fixed at 9600.

sysctl net.irda.max_baud_rate don't work. This set the new baud rate but kernel set fixed 9600.
