What are your plans for this= ? Our current plan is to add GPRS data support to the Maemo Software plat= form.=20 As the Nokia modems talk PhoNet, we plan to use this PhoNet stack to co= ntrol=20 GPRS functionality and to carry IP datagrams. Underneath the PhoNet sta= ck, a=20 Linux network device driver would be required. In our case, Carlos Chin= ea is=20 publishing the OMAP SSI bus, on linux-omap. If I understand correctly, you want to use PhoNet with S40 and/or Symbi= an/S60=20 phones. The architecture of the PhoNet stack allows this - running on a= Linux=20 PC. Additional network device drivers would be needed to support the Ir= DA and=20 Bluetooth link-layers. We are investigating the possibility to contribu= te=20 other drivers in the future, but we have no immediate plans to do so.
