Nachdem das Telephon erreichbar ist, braucht’s eine Kernel Einstellung:

File systems  --->
        <M> Filesystem in Userspace support

und die Installation der Pakete:

$ sudo emerge sys-fs/fuse
$ sudo emerge app-mobilephone/obexftp
$ sudo emerge sys-fs/obexfs

Schnell noch die Verbindung getestet (ggf. mehrmals probieren):

$ gammu --identify
$ obexftp -i -l

Schon läßt sich das Telephon via obexfs & fuse mounten:

$ obexfs -i mountpoint
$ ls -l mountpoint
$ fusermount -u mountpoint

Vorsicht! Während das Telephon gemountet ist, funktioniert gammu nicht!

I added the following udev rule:

$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/95-usb-irda.rules
# Connect the IRDA USB Dongle
# see http://de.gentoo-wiki.com/Udev_Rules
# use "$ lsusb -v" to get the details about the dongle
ACTION=="add", BUS=="usb", SYSFS{manufacturer}==" Sigmatel Inc ", SYSFS{product}==" IrDA/USB Bridge", NAME="%k", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/usb-irda-add.sh"
# ACTION=="remove", BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="066f", SYSFS{idProduct}=="4200", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/usb-irda-remove.sh"

combined with the script

# cat /usr/local/bin/usb-irda-add.sh
#!/bin/sh
# Init script for /etc/udev/rules.d/95-usb-irda.rules
# modprobe ircomm_tty
irattach irda0 -s
# http://osdir.com/ml/drivers.gnokii/2003-09/msg00014.html
echo 115200 > /proc/sys/net/irda/max_baud_rate

and voila, the dongle hotplugs.

What’s puzzling me, is that /var/log/messages shows multiple identical entries:

Oct  3 22:06:17 sifr irattach: executing: '/sbin/modprobe irda0'
Oct  3 22:06:17 sifr irattach: executing: 'echo sifr > /proc/sys/net/irda/devname'
Oct  3 22:06:17 sifr irattach: executing: '/sbin/modprobe irda0'
Oct  3 22:06:17 sifr irattach: executing: 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/irda/discovery'

Oct  3 22:06:17 sifr irattach: executing: 'echo sifr > /proc/sys/net/irda/devname'
Oct  3 22:06:17 sifr irattach: executing: '/sbin/modprobe irda0'

Oct  3 22:06:17 sifr irattach: Starting device irda0

and that unplugging doesn’t unload the kernel modules, despite the script

$ cat /usr/local/bin/usb-irda-remove.sh
#!/bin/sh
# Removal script for /etc/udev/rules.d/95-usb-irda.rules
rmmod ircomm_tty ircomm stir4200 irda crc_ccitt

Ausgangspunkt ist ein Nokia 6610 Mobilfon, ein Gentoo AMD64 stable Rechner und ein Cytronix IR-USB Dongle.

Zunächst wollen ein paar Kernel Einstellungen gesetzt sein:

Networking  --->
        <M> IrDA (infrared) subsystem support  --->
           <M> IrCOMM protocol
        Infrared-port device drivers  --->
             <M> IrDA USB dongles
             <M> SigmaTel STIr4200 bridge (EXPERIMENTAL)

Damit die Module automatisch geladen werden:

$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/irda
alias irda0 stir4200
$ sudo update-modules

Ein paar Pakete installieren:

$ sudo emerge irda-utils gammu

und gammu einstellen:

$ cat ~/.gammurc
[gammu]
name = Nokia 6610
# port=/dev/ircomm0
connection = irdaphonet
synchronizetime = yes
# rsslevel = teststable
startinfo = yes
usephonedb = yes
# UsePhoneDB=yes

Das Telephon noch auf Infrarot lauschen lassen, und schon sollte es klappen:

$ sudo irattach irda0 -s;sleep 10;gammu --identify
INFO: there is later testing Gammu (1.20.94 instead of 1.20.0) available!
Manufacturer         : Nokia
Model                : 6610 (NHL-4U)

Das war’s.

Jetzt läßt sich per gammu das Telephon inspizieren, z.B.

$ gammu getfilesystem

    c:/5.  HS |-- Folder "Empf. Dateien"
    c:/2.   S |-- Folder "Galerie"
