USB

Windows Device Manager says I have an Intel 82801 = CA/CAM Universal Host Controller - 2482

I have tied both KPilot = and JPilot and neither program sees the USB port. I = ran usbview and it shows a root hub and nothing else. Nothing happens when I plug in the = usb cable or when I hit the hotsync button on the palm pilot.

 

Infrared

Windows Device Manager says I have a SMC Fast = Infrared Port running on an Intel 82801 CAM LPC interface = controller

I setup the IR port in the bios as COM2, then COM3, = and then COM4. I also tried both Fast and (slow?? ) = settings in the bios but neither worked with the information from the Linux HOWTO = for Infrared and the palm OS.

I read through the Linux HOWTO for Infrared (http://howto.pilot-= link.org/irdasync/ca.html) and tried the following as root:

      modprobe irda
      modprobe ircomm
      modprobe ircomm-tty
      irattach /dev/ttyS1 =
–s
 

All the commands returned without any error. However, = I did not get any indication on the Workpad that = it was receiving a signal from the laptop as the HOWTO said I = would.

 

When I tried 

      killall -9 irattach
 

the error message said the irattach was not = attached to anything.

 

Thanks for any suggestions you may = have!
