8210 + debian-testing + toshiba portege 7010ct

[Charles Kidson]

Hi gnokii guru's!
I am having some difficulties connecting my 8210 to my toshiba portege 7010ct.

My .gnokiirc :
[global]
port = /dev/ircomm
model = 8110
initlength = 1
connection = irda
binddir = /usr/local/sbin

Output of gnokii --version :
GNOKII Version 0.3.4
(.deb package from testing/main)

Output of lsmod | grep ir :
irlan       35296   0 (unused)
ircomm-tty  30016   0 (autoclean)
ircomm      13148   0 (autoclean) [ircom-tty]
irda       138764   0 [irlan ircomm-tty ircomm toshoboe ]

Output of lsmod | grep tosh :
toshoboe     7040   0
irda       138764   0 [irlan ircomm-tty ircomm toshoboe ]
toshiba      2624   0 (unused)

Output of ls -l /dev/ir* :
crw-rw-rw-   1 root   root  161, 0 Oct 3 17:42 /dev/ircomm



first, i run 
   ifconfig irda0 up

success. then i run 
   gnokii --identify

(with the ir activated on the 8210)

but it drops out with the error :

Hmmm... GSM_LinkOK never went true. Quitting.


can anyone point out the error of my ways? i'd love to get this working...


regards & thanks
