[ATrpms-devel] Re: lirc_atiusb problem with kernel-module-lirc-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl_52.rhfc1.atsmp-0.7.0-38_pre7.rhfc1.at

Hi Axel,

I should have elaborated--the version that is in the atrpms package is
also correct.  I was just browsing the CVS tree and noticed the
difference.  In going through my old message.log files, I noticed that the
version of the atiusb module has changed from 0.3 to 0.4 recently, and
this might be the cause of the older post_data that I was using not
working.
