        I've found this other page which is interesting :
                http://homepage.mac.com/alvinmok/nokia/irda-support.html
        Maybe you want to add a link to it ;-)

        Also : I've read somewhere that Nokia IrDA protocol was
writen on top of IrLMP (or maybe even over IrLPT).
        In the current Linux-IrDA stack, the IrLPT support gives you
pretty much direct access to the IrLMP layer (with a tty interface -
without IrTTP). So, by minor modifications of the IrCOMM modules (like
adding necessary ioctls), it should be trivial to add support for
GNokii via IrLPT. And you could even add your interceptor code within
irdadump.
        If this is possible, this should fix a lot of problems (like
coexistence and support for serial/USB dongles and other funky
hardware).
        If you look into that, I'm willing to include the necessary
patches in the kernel.

        Have fun...
