+Getting gnokii to work with a 6210 under linux
+==============================================
+
+- Compile your kernel with IrDA support for your chipset.
+
+For me on my VAIO this was:
+CONFIG_IRDA=m
+CONFIG_IRCOMM=m
+CONFIG_IRDA_OPTIONS=y
+CONFIG_IRDA_DEBUG=y
+
+CONFIG_IRTTY_SIR=m
+ Use the emulation of serial port part of your IrDA chipset or...
+CONFIG_NSC_FIR=m
+ Specify the one you have (I have a NSC 87338)
+
+- Reboot onto new kernel etc.
+- Check your serial devices don't conflict with the ioport/irq that your
+ chipset driver will try to use:
+ setserial /dev/ttySX (where X is 0 -> 3) should give you the information
+ you need.
+ If you have a device that conflicts with your ioport/irq then you will
+ need to remove the serial driver's control over it with:
+ setserial /dev/ttySX uart none port 0 irq 0
+ (where X is there relevant port mine is /dev/ttyS2)
+- I used the chipset way to get IrDA working.
+ I needed:
+ options nsc-ircc dongle_id=0x09
+ alias irda0 nsc-ircc
+ in /etc/modules.conf
+ Then just irattach irda0 -s 1 which *should* load all the modules you need
+ and start it doing irda discovery.
+ The modules I have loaded at this point are: nsc-ircc and irda.
+- Run irdadump to see that it is indeed attempting to discover something.
+ You should see messages like:
+15:24:07.380360 xid:cmd 0c57083d > ffffffff S=6 s=0 (14)
+15:24:07.470333 xid:cmd 0c57083d > ffffffff S=6 s=1 (14)
+15:24:07.560310 xid:cmd 0c57083d > ffffffff S=6 s=2 (14)
+15:24:07.650283 xid:cmd 0c57083d > ffffffff S=6 s=3 (14)
+15:24:07.740279 xid:cmd 0c57083d > ffffffff S=6 s=4 (14)
+15:24:07.830279 xid:cmd 0c57083d > ffffffff S=6 s=5 (14)
+15:24:07.920311 xid:cmd 0c57083d > ffffffff S=6 s=* langly hint=0400 [ Computer
+] (22)
+- Place the phone in front of it, enable the Infrared parts of it (Menu 90)
+ then it should change to be like:
+15:26:07.380336 xid:cmd 0c57083d > ffffffff S=6 s=0 (14)
+15:26:07.470288 xid:cmd 0c57083d > ffffffff S=6 s=1 (14)
+15:26:07.560284 xid:cmd 0c57083d > ffffffff S=6 s=2 (14)
+15:26:07.650281 xid:cmd 0c57083d > ffffffff S=6 s=3 (14)
+15:26:07.740280 xid:cmd 0c57083d > ffffffff S=6 s=4 (14)
+15:26:07.847192 xid:rsp 0c57083d < d10e0000 S=6 s=4 Nokia 6210 hint=b125 [ PnP Modem Fax Telephony IrCOMM IrOBEX ] (27)
+15:26:07.830293 xid:cmd 0c57083d > ffffffff S=6 s=5 (14)
+15:26:07.920283 xid:cmd 0c57083d > ffffffff S=6 s=* langly hint=0400 [ Computer
+] (22)
+- Now try using ircomm to talk to the phone. Try minicom /dev/ircomm0 (you
+ may need to setup a default profile for this port as the root user with
+ minicom -s /dev/ircomm0).
+- This depends on your distribution having the right lines in modules.conf
+ for ircomm to be loaded:
+alias tty-ldisc-11 irtty
+alias char-major-160 irda0
+alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty
+ And your /dev/ircomm0 should be character device 161,0.
+ Debian testing/unstable gets this right.
+ If these don't work you may need to load ircomm and ircomm-tty manually.
+- minicom /dev/ircomm0 should now work and AT commands should function.
+- With a .gnokiirc modified as follows:
+ port = /dev/ircomm0
+ model = 6210
+ connection = irda
+ gnokii --monitor should now function.
+
+ [huggie@langly ~]$ gnokii --monitor
+ Entering monitor mode...
+ RFLevel: 100
+ Battery: 100
+ SIM: Used 5, Free 85
+ etc.
+
+ Not all the functions for 6210 work yet seemingly.
+
+- If instead gnokii hangs then you may have a version of gnokii that still
+ has recv() in irda_open of common/devices/unixirda.c. Just comment out
+ that line, recompile and try again.

+big performance boost !!\r
+I kompile my kernel (linux 2.4.7) with:\r
+CONFIG_IRDA_OPTIONS=y\r
+CONFIG_IRDA_CACHE_LAST_LSAP=y\r
+CONFIG_IRDA_FAST_RR=y\r
+this reduce reading phonebook from 150 to 20 seconds !!!\r
