I am running Fedora FC 4 on an Acer TravelMate 290. Usually, when I can't
connect to the Internet using wifi or ethernet, I use my IR port (ttyS2) to
connect through my GPRS phone, using the GPRS Easy Connect (gprsec) application.
This has always worked fine, even back when I was using FC3.
I recently upgraded from kernel 2.6.15-1.1833_FC4, from 2.6.15-1.1833_FC4.
Using the new kernel, I cannot connect. I get an error saying /dev/ttyS2: no
such file or folder. When I run
$ dir /dev/ttyS*
it shows me that ttyS0 and ttyS1 exist, but not ttyS2 (or ttyS3, which has
always existed under previous kernels).
It's not an /etc/sysconfig/irda issue, I've already checked that and the
file has not changed.
Anyone else run into this? Any suggestions on how to fix it?
