If you can get it to work in Linux, i.e. irdadump displays frames
containing Nokia6210, then it should also work for gnokii. You just have
to use irda as connection type. I have some actisys compatible dongle
and it works just fine. The tekram connection type was AFAIR for 6110
series. So just compile a kernel with IrDA stuff in it and get irattach
to work. That's about it.
