hi.

i need someone guiding me through the install of lirc.
i have a infrared receiver connected to my serial port. i bought it from the internet.
now, i patched my kernel (2.6-test10-mm1), configured lirc_serial, lirc_sir and 8250 as modules. i installed lirc-0.7.0pre2 with LIRC_OPTS="lirc_sir" (also tried lirc_serial).
so, which modules do i have to load now? lirc_sir? lirc_serial? both?
i deleted /dev/lirc, now i have in /dev/lirc/:
Code:
hal lirc # ls -l
total 0
crw-------    1 root     root      61,   0 Jan  1  1970 lirc0


what do i have to do next?
if the modules are loaded, i can start lirc with
Code:
lircd -d /dev/lirc/lirc0
, but when i start irw, it sits there and does nothing. if i start it via
Code:
irw /dev/lirc/lirco
i get the following output:
Code:
hal lirc # irw /dev/lirc/lirc0
connect: Connection refused


could someone please tell me what i am doing wrong?

thanks, revo
