I am very sorry about it. I can't say what is the problem. I'd like to try
to investigate it deeper, but my Nokia 6210, 6310 and 6310i work just fine
with IrDA.

Anyway that's a serious flaw in Nokia firmware. It SHOULD NOT got broken
just receiving any packages using IrDA port. It's probably worth of
submitting the bug to Nokia. Does anybody have an idea where to submit it?

take care,
