OK, ball is in Dmitriy's court. BTW, you mentioned something about IrDA
modules for h3800 not being available. Since I am the defacto kernel bb
maintainer for the h3600 and h3900 ports I am happy to try to fix it if
you give me the run down of the problem again.

When you send, do you have to have another IrDA host near? I only have
one iPAQ with known working IrDA. I can try to get a hand from the
gaggle of treo owners I know.

I say, leave it on as long as 1829 does not have a fix. You are welcome
to toy with this one in the meantime. Feel free to post interim patches
to this list if you want to get ideas flowing.

Thanks for speaking up.
