[ATrpms-devel] lirc no kernel module - lirc-devices

[Paulo Cavalcanti]

Hi,

the attached file should create a udev rule for lirc:

udev.sh pci kbd lirc

After the execution, if the file lirc.rules is empty, it is because
it has not been found any card. Otherwise, the rule can be copied to
/etc/udev/rules.

It is working for me. I would like to know if it works for other capture
cards/remotes.

/Paulo Roma.
