the IrCOMM driver, you can setup a new network connection (Direct Connection) using IrDA as the
device and setting up Windows as the client with no password prompt.
On the Zaurus, you will need to do the following to make it start IrDA as the host:
# su
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/irda start
# pppd /dev/ircomm 9600 10.10.10.21:10.10.10.20 local noauth nodetach
On the IrDA client, if you are running Linux (and IrCOMM is already setup), you can simply do the
following:
# su
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/irda start
# pppd /dev/ircomm 9600 nodetach
If you are running Windows (and you have setup the direct connection using IrDA as client) you can
simply double click on the Direct Connection icon to connect.
Once they are paired successfully, you can ping the other box from the Zaurus as 10.10.10.20. The
Zaurus would be 10.10.10.21 in this example.
To stop IrCOMM, simply press Fn + c and then run /etc/rc.d/init.d/irda stop
IrNet
You will need the IrNet module on the Zaurus and your other Linux box. However, it is already
installed on Windows 2000 so all you need to do on Windows is to create a new Direct Connection
using IrDA interface.
To install and enable IrNet on the Zaurus, you will need to copy irnet.o to
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/net/irda/irnet.
# su
# mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/net/irda/irnet
# cp irnet.o /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/net/irda/irnet
# mknod /dev/irnet c 10 187
# chown root:root /dev/irnet
# chmod 644 /dev/irnet
# insmod irnet
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/irda start
# pppd /dev/irnet 9600 10.10.10.21:10.10.10.20 local noauth nodetach
On the IrDA client, if you are running Linux (and IrNet is already setup), you can simply do the
following:
# su
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/irda start
# pppd /dev/irnet 9600 nodetach
If you are running Windows (and you have setup the direct connection using IrDA as client) you can
simply double click on the Direct Connection icon to connect.
Once they are paired successfully, you can ping the other box from the Zaurus as 10.10.10.20. The
Zaurus would be 10.10.10.21 in this example.
You can also just simply install irnet_2.4.20_arm.ipk which installs and configures irnet so that it
will be available even after a reboot. It also provides an opie shell script to allow you to start and
stop it from the Qtopia GUI or simply run irnet start to start it from the command line and irnet
