LIRC is now supported on Ubuntu

[ook]

i see the same as following, what was its resolution? (i'm using mint9 installed per fit-pc2 instructions)

I tryed it with igor cheskos driver but a module is missing.
The sub tree /ubuntu/media/lirc is missing ..is this ok ?

First off, thanks for you help. I can see the frequency but I don't understand how this helps me with lircd.

I have the same problem as @ook using the Mint operating system. I did a standard Mint install according to the instructions, and installed lirc according to the Ubuntu instructions, but the /dev/lirc0 device simply does not appear. I can see that the raw USB device is present by doing 'lsusb' but somehow the kernel driver is not creating the proper device. Any ideas?

Here is the kernel driver information....
