Michael,
I may not be much help as I only use my laptop for downloading programs, not
development, and my serial port is built-in.
Is there any message when it fails to connect, or not?
Does it fail immediately, or timeout after a wait?
Do firmdl3 & dll fail the same way, or different symptoms?
Try looking in /var/log/messages for any info. Also try logging kernel debug
messages using syslog - a line like:
kern.debug /var/log/kernel.debug
in syslog.conf may give more info (don't forget to killall -HUP syslogd!)
Post the results here, and someone may be able to pick the problem.

| Hallo Ross! This is just the problem, I can not download programs or the legos.srec. Both, firmdl3 and dll give the message "bad ir link".
