I applied the patch manually (ok. I admit it was fairly obvious where the
changes had to be made)

Maby I made a mistake applying the patch or something as I still get
Collission errors. I tried two IR towers in both near and far mode, still the
same problem.

I did a make clean; make realclean; and finally a make.

I still get this trying to apply the patch after making the changes suggested
by Jim and Martin.

abacus:~/lego/lnpd+liblnp/lnpd$ patch transceiver.c < patch-trans
patching file `transceiver.c'
patch: **** malformed patch at line 5: static unsigned char* tx_next;

However, I am fairly sure I applied the patch manually ok.

Should I still get this error?

Pardon, Mike, i should have anticipated that, because i had the same
problem when i first tried to apply a patch. The usage of patch is a
little uncommon: You have to provide the patch through stdin !. Thus,
i'd suggest the following procedure:

- First, copy the patch to file patch-trans ( you already did that, i
think )
- Make sure you have the original transceiver.c from the tarball in
place.
- To keep a copy of the original (optional):
$> cp transceiver.c transceiver.c.old

- Apply the patch:
$> patch transceiver.c < patch-trans
                     ^^^ ( stdin redirection )

The only output seen with a recent version of patch should be:
patching file transceiver.c

If you have an older version of patch, it might output some information
about it's operation. Anyways,
if you get any warnings or errors, like hunk rejected or so, there is a
problem with your original.

BTW, do you experience the same problems when your Tower is switched to
near-mode ?

Have a nice sunday, Martin
