I own a buslink IRDA USB receiver and I am trying to get it to work as a receiver for my remote control. I am running Knoppmyth R5A30.2. When I plug in the receiver "dmesg"

If I then execute "find / -name irda0" I find the directory "/sys/class/net/irda0" has been created, but I don't find anything like "/dev/irda0".

I will do some more digging, but does anyone have any tips or experience on getting an IRDA receiver working with LIRC? I've seen conflicting reports out there on weather it's possible to make this work.

Hi marc~

get anywhere on this? I'm going through the same issue right now.

lsusb shows the stir4200 device but I can't figure out how to get lirc to use it. thanks

here's my relevant dmesg:

_________________
R5F27 | M2NPV-VM | 4600+ 65W AM2X2 | CORSAIR TWIN2X1024A-6400 | 2x HD-5000 |
DVI to HP LC3700N

I never made any progress on this -- I'm now using a PVR-150 card with an integrated IR receiver. Works fine with LIRC. This was quite some time back and I believe I eventually found documentation showing that not all IRDA devices work properly with LIRC.
