I used a clean download.

As I wrote, it always works on the first try.
It sometimes fials on the second and following tries with 2.2.15pre19.
It always works with the 2.2.15pre3 which does not have ir support build
in. 


If wvdialconf scans the ir port ttyS1 on 2.2.15pre19, die machine bombs.

Not that I know of. I admit that I have to learn a bit more about
kernel configuration to be sure, though.

ttyS0 is the modem under Lombard,
ttyS1 the IR port.

Most interestingly right now I cannot reproduce the I/O error.
So it works, most of the time. I hate this kind of errors.
So a hardware problem is still possible with this machine.

Usually people will reply to the list, I guess. I just wanted to say 
that I am not subscribed, so It need to get a copy of posts which
are interesting.
