Yes thanks. I'm having a problem getting it working though. I'm
running 64-bit mythbuntu 7.10rc[1]. I installed lirc as part of the
mythbuntu install, choosing the 'hauppauge tv card' option, and the
pvr 150 remote works fine (for controlling mythtv).

After adding the lines you suggested to /etc/lirc/lircd.conf, and
copying haup-ir-blaster.bin to
/lib/firmware/2.6.22-14-generic/ [2] and restarting, I get the following:

simon at mythbox:~$ irsend -d /dev/lircd SEND_ONCE Pace_RC-30 5
irsend: command failed: SEND_ONCE Pace_RC-30 5
irsend: hardware does not support sending



If I change /etc/lircd/hardware.conf as suggested in this post (and rebooting)
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3538889&postcount=5

the devices in /dev aren't created, and neither the remote nor blaster work


Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

[1] the ubuntu wiki now instructs you to install mythbuntu for 7.10
[2] also tried /lib/firrmware and /lib32
