Re: IrDA support


I've trying to do connect a SonyEricsson K300 via IrDA with the same
dongle,

a MA-620. I had to do the following:



Load the needed modules:





modprobe irda

modprobe ircomm

modprobe irtty_sir





Create the following devices (I think that udev should be doing this)





mknod /dev/ircomm0 c 161 0

mknod /dev/ircomm1 c 161 1

chmod 666 /dev/ir*





Start irattach:





irattach /dev/ttyUSB0 -d ma600 -s





Set the speed at 9600 (if all does work, we can increase it)





echo 9600 > /proc/sys/net/irda/max_baud_rate





To check if the phone is detected, issue the following command





cat /proc/net/irda/discovery





It should list the phone as connected





IrLMP: Discovery log:



nickname: K300 series, hint: 0x9124, saddr: 0x4e3bdf15, daddr:
0x0000017d





Then, connect every application to /dev/ircomm0.

If you want to transfer pictures, sounds, etc. and your phone
supports OBEX,

then use the obexftp command:





obexftp -t /dev/ircomm0 -l (list directories)

obexftp -t /dev/ircomm0 -l Sounds (list sounds)

obexftp -t /dev/ircomm0 -c Sounds (go to sounds folder)

obexftp -t /dev/ircomm0 -g "Sounds/De Musica Ligera.mid" (transfer a
file)





I've tried gammu but it doesn't seems to work with this phone.

At least, I can transfer my pictures to the PC, and that's a lot.



If someone knows how to make udev create the devices in /dev,
please

post the commands.



Saludos y suerte,
