Please make /etc/init.d/irda run after /etc/init.d/serial so that any settings necessary on the SIR port in order for irda to be setup correctly is done. For FIR use one needs to disable the serial driver from accessing the serial port or the FIR driver cannot. To do this I added "ttyS1 uart none port 0x0 irq 0" in /etc/conf.d/serial. /etc/init.d/irda runs before /etc/init.d/serial so the FIR driver fails to load. Adding: depend() { after serial } in /etc/init.d/irda solves this. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install irda-utils 2. setup some parameters in /etc/conf.d/serial necessary for irda to work 3. reboot 4. irda setup fails because serial port settings are not applied
Well spotted. Fixed in CVS. Wait a few hours; emerge --sync && emerge irda-utils; Thank you for reporting this.
