3.3. Verifying the Configuration
At this point, you should now have your shiny new kernel up and running and booted on your system. If all went well, congratulations!
Verifying the Infrared configuration is almost as easy as testing serial. You'll need to have the irda-utils package installed. If you've started up the irmanager daemon using the script described earlier, you can test the connection by launching irdadump .
Placing the Palm within 50-100cm's of the IR window on your desktop or laptop machine and running 'irdadump' should produce something like the following. Note that the username on the Palm was seen and printed by IrOBEX:
If you then configure your Palm for IrDA HotSync, and hit the HotSync button, while placing it in view of the IR window on your hardware, you should see the following while running irdadump (Note the addition of IrCOMM now as well as the "Baud Rate" lines, this is a good thing.)
If you got here, and all was working well, you've successfully completed this portion of the configuration.
