gilesw Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 http://www.idoopc.co.uk/DriverPack_infrared_v1.0.7zfor what it's worth, only 2 drivers but the via one is needed for quite a few laptops i've found, any additions greatly appreciated. file doesn't seem to want to download in firefox so use ie.g.
RogueSpear Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 IMHO this seems more appropriate for inclusion with the DP Chipset. If I'm not mistaken, the ALi infrared controller is in there.

htc Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 (edited) the "MR740S USB-IrDA Driver" is 100% superfluous besause windows xp sp2 has native support for that hardwareID(USB\VID_066F&PID_4200)The "VIA3058"(VIA Fast Infrared Controller) would be supported by xp sp2, but the"VIA3076"(VIA Fast Infrared Controller on some notebook mainboard?) is new to windows xp, so it is usfull.

gilesw Posted June 7, 2005 Author Posted June 7, 2005 yes i thought it would be good to add to chipset... i've come accross the via one quite a lot, as for the other one i just did a search for irda on driverguide to see what it turned up.g.
