2.5.42: IrDA issues
I have a PPP over IrDA connection to my Nokia phone; under 2.4.20-preX I have no
problem keeping the link up, while in 2.5.4x it fails in a very short time like this:
Oct 13 01:13:13 dolphin kernel: IrLAP, no activity on link! Oct 13 01:13:11 dolphin kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: irda0: transmit timed out Oct 13 01:13:11 dolphin kernel: irda0: transmit timed out Oct 13 01:13:13 dolphin kernel: IrLAP, no activity on link! Oct 13 01:13:13 dolphin kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: irda0: transmit timed out Oct 13 01:13:13 dolphin kernel: irda0: transmit timed out Oct 13 01:13:13 dolphin pppd[5378]: Modem hangup Oct 13 01:13:13 dolphin pppd[5378]: Connection terminated. Oct 13 01:13:13 dolphin pppd[5378]: Connect time 1.8 minutes. Oct 13 01:13:13 dolphin pppd[5378]: Sent 19541 bytes, received 35933 bytes. Oct 13 01:13:13 dolphin pppd[5378]: Exit.
I also get the transmit timed out spam (why one with WATCHDOG and one without ?)
in 2.4.20-pre but the IrLAP line isn't there. And the GPRS link stays up...
Thanks in advance for any insight,

Please do yourself a favor and give me a proper bug report,
including hardware, driver and irdadump.

Will provide irdadump stuff soon[-ish], I'm wading through a backlog
of, uhm, too much email. The short-form report really meant "is this a known issue ?"...
Anyway - the box is a Dell Latitude CPx750J with this:
[root@dolphin root]# findchip -v
Found SMC FDC37N958FR Controller at 0x3f0, DevID=0x01, Rev. 1
SIR Base 0x3e8, FIR Base 0x290
IRQ = 4, DMA = 3
Enabled: yes, Suspended: no
UART compatible: yes
Half duplex delay = 3 us
So clearly I'm using smc-ircc.o.
(Of course I'll try and reproduce in 2.5.44 tonight or tomorrow).
Thanks,

irtty is busted, that's why I asked for the driver you are
using (its clearly a driver issue). I believe smc-ircc and irport are sick as well.

Stop ! Daniele Peri has just released a new version of the SMC
driver (smc-ircc2, link on my web page). I would like you to try this new driver and report to me. I plan to push this new driver in the kernel soon. So, don't waste too much time on the old driver.
