    I would like to sync between Kuki Linux and my Palm. The first problem seems to be getting a driver for my infrared usb dongle. Does anybody know of one?

    In the directory /boot you can find a configuration-file of your working kernel. You can search that file for lines with 'IRDA' in it. On Linpus that says: # CONFIG_IRDA is not set, so on standard-Linpus that won't work. I don't know about your Kuki linux.

    Also you can look at the difference in output of the commands 'lsusb' and 'dmesg' before and after inserting the dongle.

    lsusb will just report the Vendor- and Product- ID of the device, it does not mean that the system can do something with it.
    dmesg shows the messages of kernel, so you can see what happens under the hood.
