Quick debian lirc howto

In order to remember this the next time I upgrade a kernel on my myth client and hopefully go through a little less pain:

  1. apt-get the latest linux kernel source
  2. load the default configuration for the kernel you just installed (from /boot/config-2.6.xx)
  3. unpack the lirc source in the /usr/src dir
  4. run dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source and let it build the modules.

For my homebrew IR module I need to do the serial setting with the defaults for the settings. Make sure that I say no to “generate software carrier”.
