IrDA-USB (Sigmatel STIr4200), Nokia 7620

[Tarun Siripurapu]

Hi,

I have a Nokia 7620 phone, a Sigmatel IrDA-USB dongle (STIr4200) and
am running Ubuntu 5.10.

I installed gnokii using the Synaptic package manager.

First, I plug in the USB dongle. When I do a dmesg, I get:

[#,#] usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
[#,#] SigmaTel STIr4200 IRDA/USB found at address 4, Vendor: 66f, Product: 4200
[#,#] drivers/net/irda/stir4200.c: IrDA: Registered SigmaTel device irda0

Now, I use the following script to start the IR:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnokii-users/2004-02/msg00142.html

I get the error:
ERROR: Module irda is in use by ircomm_tty,ircomm

However, irda0 shows up when I run ifconfig:

irda0     Link encap:IrLAP  HWaddr 00:00:00:00
             UP RUNNING NOARP  MTU:2048  Metric:1

             collisions:0 txqueuelen:8
             RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:216 (216.0 b)

Now, when I run irdadump with the phone (IR activated) in front of the module:

14:41:07.260247 xid:cmd a1a1bc66 > ffffffff S=6 s=0 (14)
14:41:07.360223 xid:cmd a1a1bc66 > ffffffff S=6 s=1 (14)

14:41:07.660180 xid:cmd a1a1bc66 > ffffffff S=6 s=4 (14)

14:41:07.860147 xid:cmd a1a1bc66 > ffffffff S=6 s=* dopefish hint=0400

So, I guess the phone is being sensed  by the dongle.

The gnokii rc file I'm using is:

Now, when I run gnokii --identify:

GNOKII Version 0.6.8
Gnokii serial_open: tcgetattr: Input/output error
Couldn't open FBUS device: Input/output error
Gnokii serial_open: tcgetattr: Input/output error

Quitting.

pkot on IRC was of the opinion that there is something wrong with the
IR configuration. When I do an lsmod | grep ir:

irport                 11936  0
stir4200               13572  0

ircomm                 19588  1 ircomm_tty

And when I do a ps aux | grep ir:

root     14931  0.0  0.0   3068   764 pts/0    R+   20:22   0:00 grep ir


Now, I don't know what gnokii expects the IR configuration to be. How
do I go about checking whether IR is working fine? Has anyone gotten
gnokii to work with the Sigmatel IrDA dongle? If so, any tips?

Any help whatsoever will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Tarun
