Hi there, I've a laptop with CentOS 8 and a PC with CentOS 7. After 3 years of break I was Scuba Diving last 3 weeks. Back at home I wish to download all dive logs from my divecomputer connext via IrDA to my PC.
But no kernel modul for IrDA was found.
[root@rechner1 ~]# modprobe ircomm modprobe: FATAL: Module ircomm not found in directory /lib/modules/4.18.0-147.6.el8.x86_64 [root@rechner1 ~]# modprobe ircomm_tty modprobe: FATAL: Module ircomm_tty not found in directory /lib/modules/4.18.0-147.6.el8.x86_64 [root@destn40768 ~]#
[root@rechner1 ~]# lsusb | grep -i irda Bus 002 Device 011: ID 9710:7780 MosChip Semiconductor MCS7780 4Mbps Fast IrDA Adapter [root@rechner1 ~]#
Same with CentOS7
How do I get IrDA support?
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards

As you found out, there is no support for IrDA in CentOS-7 or -8. The only CentOS kernel I see with the support for device [9710:7780] is the centosplus kernel for CentOS-6. This means that you'd need to install CentOS-6 and then update it with the kernel in the centosplus repository.

Thank you Akemi,
I'll take Fedora 23. That was the OS I've used three years ago for connecting with my dive computer.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards Andreas Reschke
