First of all thank you Daniele Forsi for getting back to me. I had
looked at the links you had given.

First of all the cable I have is the usb cable CA-101D.
http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/accessories/all-accessories/memory-cards-and-cables/cables/nokia-connectivity-cable-ca-101d

Now this is the config file I've done :-

# This is a sample config file for unix-like systems.  See Windows/gnokiirc
# for a Windows sample.
#
# Copy this file into $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnokii/config (which is
# $HOME/.config/gnokii/config in most cases) and change port, connection and
# model settings following the comments below.  See
# http://wiki.gnokii.org/index.php/Config for working examples.
#

[global]
model = series40
port = 1
connection = phonet
#values taken from http://wiki.gnokii.org/index.php/DKU2 and also seen

# Set port to the physical port used to connect to your phone.
#port = none

# Then using phone connected to the serial port (not USB) you should
# use (for Linux):
# port = /dev/ttyS0
#
# For MacOSX you will need something like:
# port = /dev/cu.USA28X1P1.1
#
# FreeBSD (probably NetBSD and OpenBSD too) use:
# port = /dev/cuaa0
#
# With Linux-IrDA you will want to use
# port = /dev/ircomm0
# or similiar.
#
# Use this setting also for the Bluetooth connection:
# port = aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
# when using it with AT driver set it to:
# port = /dev/rfcomm0
# or similiar.
#
# For the Linux USB cables you will need one of the following settings (or
# similiar)
# port = /dev/ttyUSB0
# port = /dev/tts/USB0
# port = /dev/ttyACM0
# the last one will work only with AT driver. The correct setting should be
# given in the dmesg output.
#
# If you use connection type dku2libusb use it to denote which use endpoint
# you'd wish to use. It is useful when you have more than one phone connected
# to your computer using DKU2 cable. Numbering goes from 1 upwards.
# Default is 1.
#port = 1
#
# If you use connection type phonet use it to denote the network device to use.
# See README-6510 for more details.
#port = usbpn0

# Change it according to instructions
#model = series40
# Set model to the model number of your phone. For the
# Symbian phones use:
# model = symbian
#
# For other non-Nokia phones and when you want to use AT
# mode use:
# model = AT
#
# If you can't figure out what to put here read the FAQ.
# If it still doesn't help, consult gnokii-ml or #gnokii at freenode.
# For Nokia phones (non-Symbian), most likely you'll need:
# model = 6510
# There are few main models that when chosen should make use of the
# appropriate drivers. These are: 6110, 7110, 6510, 3110, 2110, 6160.

# Set IrDA device name.
# If you use irda connection you may want gnokii to autodetect the irda
# device it connects to. This is fine for most of the cases. if you have
# more than one device in range you may want to give manually the device
# name so gnokii correctly recognizes it. Use the name that you can see
# in the discovery log when the phone with infrared is in the range of
# your irda port.
# Note that you need to set this for each phone_ section separately. It
# isn't nested from the global section.
# irda_string = Nokia 6610i

# Initlength controls the number of characters sent to the
# phone during initialisation.  You can either set it to
# the word "default" or a positive integer.
#
# You can try setting this value if you want to connect
# to the phone quicker.  If you've never noticed the
# connection to be slow, it is suggested that you
# leave this alone.  Read the initialisation code in fbus-xxxx
# to understand what this changes if you're curious.
initlength = default

# Most USB cables for Nokia phones should work with the libusb driver
# (recommended)
# connection = dku2libusb
# and with the new kernel driver (Linux 2.6.28+)
#connection = phonet
# If you have 6210/6250/7110 phone and dau9p cable (the one you can
# use with 6100 series and cannot use hardware modem from the phone)
# you may want to use 'dau9p' value to get faster initialization.
# If you use dlr3 or dlr3p cable for nokia phones in FBUS mode (ie.
# you don't use model = AT) you may want to use 'dlr3p' value here.
# Note that it is recommended and currently the best way to use this
# cable with nk6510 driver.
#connection = serial
# With DKU-2 cable use the following setting with the now unsupported Linux
# kernel driver that was provided with older libgnokii versions:
# connection = dku2
# With DKU-5 cable use the following setting
# connection = dku5
# For Bluetooth and AT driver use the following setting
# connection = serial
# For other Bluetooth settings use
# connection = bluetooth
# For infrared connection with phones other than Nokia 6110/6130/6150 use:
# connection = irda
# Don't forget to run: 'irattach irda0 -s' or similiar before running gnokii
# For the nk6110 driver only connection=infrared is valid for IrDA.
# See Docs/gnokii-ir-howto for more detailes on this.
# For connection with a PC/SC compatible Smart Card reader use:
# connection = pcsc

# Set this to 'yes' if you want gnokii to set and check the lock file in
# /var/lock directory. It avoids potential conflicts with other serial

The only things which are not commented are the global values :-

[global]
model = series40
port = 1
connection = phonet

initlength = default (this I have no idea should it be on or commented ?)
use_locking = no (dunno if this makes some difference or not ? )

[gnokiid]
bindir = /usr/sbin/

This is taken as its both the things requested are there :-

There is one problem area though, I seem to have two libusb versions
installed. I am on Debian sid and some apps. are using libusb-1.0.0
while others are still using the old ones.

Now this is what is happening when I try to use gnokii --identify

 $ gnokii --identify
GNOKII Version 0.6.30
LOG: debug mask is 0x1
Config read from file /home/shirish/.config/gnokii/config.
phone instance config:
model = series40
port = 1
connection = phonet
initlength = default
serial_baudrate = 19200
serial_write_usleep = -1
handshake = software
require_dcd = 0
smsc_timeout = 10
rfcomm_channel = 0
sm_retry = 0
Connecting
Serial device: opening device 1
socket: Operation not permitted
Couldn't open PHONET device: Operation not permitted
Error in link initialisation: 1
Telephone interface init failed: Command failed.
Quitting.
Command failed.

I think one of the issues is with the

'Couldn't open PHONET device: Operation not permitted'

Now I haven't done the instructions given at
http://wiki.gnokii.org/index.php/DKU2#Setting_permissions_for_libusb
as I'm not connection=dku2lib, do I need to do this even if I'm using
phonet as cpnnection ?  The wiki page does not make this clear or at
least its not clear to me.

As far as my user being in group plugdev is concerned, he's member of
that group.

$ groups
shirish cdrom floppy sudo audio dip video plugdev netdev bluetooth scanner

First if possible let me know if :-

a. Is something is wrong in my config file?
b. The confusion of being with dkulib and phonet, what to use and what to do ?

It would be nice to have some idea, maybe I did something silly, dunno.

Lastly here's my kernel version

$ uname -r
3.1.0-1-amd64
