Have you managed to do anything 'real' yet? I tried your patch, and it
does seem to improve things, irdadump seems to show data from my Palm,
but I haven't succeeded to synchronize yet.

Sure - I can open a modem connection to my cellphone and issue any AT
command I want. However, I have to take care of all of the three issues
mentioned. (I.e. use patched irattach, use patched kernel and
echo 57600 > /proc/sys/net/irda/max_baud_rate).

I have done the latter two and used cat to work around the first. I see
something with irdadump but none of the pilot sync tools work. I'm
afraid they're broken on PPC yet. :(

Hmm - I still have one of the old PalmPilot devices without irda. What
exactly do you see with irdadump? (Forgive me the stupid question: you
have set PILOT_PORT to /dev/ircomm0, right?)

No, of course I hadn't... I still don't, but now /dev/pilot points to
it. I was foolishly thinking it should point to /dev/ttyS1 as well.

So now I just finished synchronizing my Palm from within Linux for the
first time! There goes the last reason to boot into MacOS. :)

Thanks so much, I hope this gets integrated and the macserial driver
propoerly fixed soon.
