Then something isn't happy on the IrDA side.  You need to fix that
before gnokii will work.

I've not played with a usb IrDA thing though (well I did once but it
kind of all just worked).

Oh hrm.  Looks like usbserial was loaded.  I guess it could have claimed
the device.

What happens if you try irattach on whatever the new serial device is
probably /dev/ttyUSB0 ?
i.e. irattach /dev/ttyUSB0 -s

Alternatively what happens if you unload the usbserial driver and try
irattach irda0 -s

Have you googled for some kind soul that's got it working?

Once you do get it working let me know what you need and I'll submit a
patch to the docs in gnokii.

Simon.
