Re: Connection problem with Nokia 6234

Make sure gnokii config file uses the correct device.

I connect my phone, then

tail /var/log/messages gives:

and I then I use /dev/ttyUSB0 in the config file.

I had been using gnokii and xgnokii for a while with a Mandriva
distribution. Now I moved to Ubuntu 7.10 and I cannot use gnokii any
more. The phone (Nokia 6234) connects to the PC only if I use
kbluetooth -- can download files etc. With gnokii the phone cannot be
detected, apparently.
If I type "gnokii --monitor" I get an error message saying that the
phone interface cannot be initialized. The GUI interfaces hangs for a
while and gives the same kind of error message.

Any suggestion (tests and so on) greatly appreciated!
