[ATrpms-devel] lirc FC6

[Paulo Cavalcanti]

Hi, Axel

for FC5 is the same thing. You will see
that all rules have "kernel==".
The only exceptions are lirc and fuse. The difference
is that FC5 does not complain.

Therefore, for lirc:

KERNEL=="lirc[0-9]*",   NAME="lirc%n"
KERNEL=="lirc0",        SYMLINK="lirc"

For EL4 I would have to look in a computer with it.
The one I have is turned off now. Only when I get to
the work I will see it. But I believe it is the same thing ...

Maybe someone from the list could report fuse
to Fedora extras.

/Paulo Roma.
