Hi,
This is maybe not right place to ask
I have a laptop with builtin irda device, which I would like to make work, or try to write the driver for it (although I don't have sufficient programming practice yet ... I'm able to learn fast and work hard :) ) but I have a basic problem: I don't know what chip exactly is built in ... Docs of my notebook doesn't say anything usefull. It works in windows XP, so I trien to get some information from there, but the only useuful information I got was name of the chip is "nsc6001". This mean that manufacturer of the chip should be National Semiconductor company, but on their pages I found following info about irda chips they manufacture: http://www.national.com/pf/PC/PC87393.html
I tried to contact the manufacturer of the notebook, but they didn't respond in 3 days ... I also tried findchip utility from irda-utils package with this result ...

Couldn't find Winbond superI/O chip.
I wonder if some of you know about other way of getting some information about the chip.
Thank you all, have a nice day
