Ircp Tray work on the top of the Linux IrDA infrastructure. If your USB-IrDA adapter is recognized by kernel, you can use it with Ircp Tray.

For example I have a KS-959 adapter (07d0:4959). I plugged it and I launched "sudo irattach irda0 -s". You can automate this by modifing /etc/default/irda-utils: you must set "irda0" into the DEVICE variable.

Manufacturer of my IRDA USB ADAPTER is SigmaTel Model: Mars II MnMII-898. Does linux will work with it?

Your chipset is supported by Linux kernel ;)

You just edit file /etc/default/irda-utils and modify DEVICE with irda0.

Strange, can you provice result of these commands?

cat /proc/net/irda/discovery

cat /proc/net/irda/irlap

Then disconnect and reconnect your IrDA adapter and run:

dmesg | tail -n20

lsmod | grep stir

Thancks.

Sorry but seems that there is a problem with the driver for your adapter. Try to ask on the official Ubuntu answer service or in the forum.

If necessay, fill a bug for kernel package.

Ok so I installed Ircp Tray, went through the entire hassle of getting it to "work", and now I can't find any information on sending a file. I used the terminal and confirmed that everything is working, and it's indeed reading the device. However, when I start the app, it says "Irda service not started" even though I followed all instructions, how-tos, etc. When I run it through the terminal, it gives me some "new line" issue and won't send anything. How do I send a file from my computer to my irda usb device? How do I get Irda tray to actually work like the pictures I've seen? PLEASE HELP I've spent 2 days trying to make this thing work!

Can you help with this problem?
