Ok... some background:
UIRDA seems to be standardized.
- SigmaTel STIR 4200 does not belong to this class and needs a
different driver. (ustir(4) for NetBSD).
- SigmaTel 4116, 4210, 4220 need firmware loading to act as an UIRDA;
that's what I'm trying to add to uirda(4) currently.
I guess any non-SigmaTel that works with NetBSD-4 would be fine to make
sure I don't break them while adding STIR 4116/42xx...
E.g. - currently my experimental driver doesn't switch the transmitter on
(very well visible with a digital consumer camera or -phone); what I want
to know: is the UIRDA code broken? Did I break it? Or is my the STIR-ng
support broken?
