Re: How to get infrared and/or Nokia working
Wohoo, it works (sort of), with your configuration!
model=6100:
root@lombi root# gnokii --identify
GNOKII Version 0.5.2
Lockfile /var/lock/LCK..ircomm0 is stale. Overriding it..
Telephone interface init failed: Model specified isn't known/supported.
Quitting.
model=6110:
timeout
model=AT:
root@lombi root# gnokii --identify
GNOKII Version 0.5.2
IMEI : 351... (some long number not shown for fear of loosing
privacy :)
Manufacturer : Nokia
Model : Nokia 6100
Revision : V 04.70
I can fetch the address list - but some numbers are just empty
strings :(. This happens with both xgnokii and gnokii --getphonebook
ME 1 20 [ -r ]. It happens for some phone numbers in RAM, not for
those in SIM but there are only ~4 of them in SIM so that may be
luck. It looks like it happens for those nicknames longer than 15
chars. (+1 nullbyte gives 16 bytes). (Firmware bug or protocol/gnokii
issue? I guess I'll have to subscribe to the gnokii mailing list if
there is any.)
Calendar and SMS don't seem to work.
(And yes, it only works at all if I echo 57600 into the kernel baud
rate limiter. 115200 does seem to work for discovery, but not for
gnokii. And the 57600 setting in .gnokiirc alone does not help
either, hmm.)
below). You should already be able to use your phone to establish a
plain old ppp connection (over /dev/ircomm0).
cool. I've managed to get GPRS to work (using
http://kotinetti.suomi.net/mcfrisk/linux_gprs.html
and http://turtiainen.dna.fi/GPRS-HOWTO). After some hair bunking
until I realized that my service provider filtered out icmp pings to
his gateway, I pinged one of my machines:

I'm sending this email over my phone.
So, apart from a little bit of disappointment about not (yet) being
able to sync address/calendar data, I've reached my goal.
Thanks Julien (and thanks to all involved programmers listening)
Cheers,
Christian.
