phunni Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 My laptop (unexpectedly) didn't have an infra-red port which I found very annoying as I think I'd get quite a lot of use out of it So I figured I'd go out and buy a USB irda adaptor. In Win XP I'm sure this'll pretty much just work - but what are the issues with getting it working in Linux? My laptop is currently running arch - but this is subject to change :D so a fairly distro independant answer would be really helpful Also, if I get it working, how easy is it to get jpilot syncing over infra-red?
