Well, it is quite hard to say what's wrong not having access to the
hardware. gnokii-ir-howto is written basing on real experience but with
the pc, not Zaurus.

You just know that both irda in Zaurus and in the phone work. But gnokii
needs own infrared driver to let 6150 work over this connection. It will
NOT work if irda is enabled in the Linux kernel.

Try gnokii --identify. It does a better connection test. If possible,
enable debug for the tests.

And perhaps upgrade to the latest CVS.

Yes. Correct. Well, Nokia 6150 supports just a part of the IrDA protocol
as it comes from our experience, but noone was able to make use of this.
So you need to disable IrDA support in the Linux kernel at all.

Maybe that's serial port incorrect setting. Any debug output from all
three setups would be usefull to resolve the issue.

Yes, infrared is the correct one. My guess is that you need:
connection = infrared
port = /dev/ttyS1
if you have the serial port in the Zaurus and
connection = infrared
port = /dev/ttyS0
if you don't have one.

I belive that you have serial port support in the Linux kernel.

All above need to be unloaded.

You need to unload irda as well.
