[openobex-users] sigmater stir4200, siemens s55, obexftp, kernel 2.6.6

[M.Zdila/EpiSoftware Ltd. <m....@ep...>]

Hi

Has anybody managed to get working this combination: Sigmatel stir4200, 
siemens s55, obexftp, kernel 2.6.6 ?
Sometime in the past it was working for me under the kernel 2.4.2x using 
unofficial kernel patch for stir4200. I am trying to mage this stuff 
working for some months, but no results. Under WinXP it works perfectly. 
Under linux it works using Kandy, but that app doesn't provide what do I 
need. Evet connecting through the terminal (minicom) using AT commands 
works. After irattach irdadump works fine too. The only problem is 
obexftp. I've user many various version of the obexftp, form the debian 
testing/unstable too. I've tried everithing on the other computer too, 
I've even again installed kernel 2.4.2x but it didn't work never more. I 
am desperate. Where is the problem? Kernel? Stir4200 driver? ObexFTP?

Some diagnostics:

... again disappointed :-( .. the IrDA device has freezed (no LED blicking)

root@bono:~# dmesg

usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using address 10

... now I've disconnected the device (stir4200 is USB), plugged it 
again, but:

root@bono:~# dmesg
SigmaTel STIr4200 IRDA/USB found at address 5, Vendor: 66f, Product: 4200
IrDA: Registered SigmaTel device irda0

drivers/usb/core/hub.c: USB device not accepting new address (error=-90)
usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using address 11
usb 4-2: control timeout on ep0out


.. now I can't get it working, only after restart.
Sometimes, when I play with irda, the device stops blicking and 
communicationg with the computer. Then I have to kill irattach 
(/etc/init.d/irda stop), unplug the device, wait for a moment, than plug 
it again into the computer and finally run /etc/init.d/irda start. The 
LED on the IrDA will then start blicking.

Can anyone help me to make this stuff work?

Many thanks in advance
