irda-usb and gnokii/other ir apps doesnt work anymore since lucid

[paoletto]

Since lucid, when i try to connect with gnokii to my nokia 6510, it starts hanging and it does not work anymore.

irattaching the dongle works fine and irdadump shows that the device is actually recognized, but when gnokii starts to communicate with the phone, it starts hanging and i can see there is some communication going on but nothing happens.

I experienced the same problem with my polar heart rate monitor: it stopped working during the data transmission as well.

[paoletto (paoletto)]

what i did, precisely, is:

# modprobe ircomm-tty
# modprobe irda-usb ; irattach irda0 -s

# gnokii --getdisplaystatus
GNOKII Versione 0.6.28

then gnokii hangs indefinitely

attached you find the irdadump log. you find at line 21 the beginning of the communication with my irda phone (nokia 6510), which eventually get disconnected or something

it also happens with the newer gnokii 0.6.29 (non in ubuntu)
So i assume it's not a gnokii fault

i changed to simple IRDA now, and gnokii works again!
so problem solved thanks
