I just installed an OrigenAE IR221 IR module and need to start the irtrans daemon, but I need to know the exact device in /dev.

I see the following when I run lsusb:

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0471:060f Philips
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

The device I am interested in is the fourth down (Philips). The syntax for starting irtrans is:

irtrans /dev/(my usb device)

Unfortuantely, I don't know the device alias. How do I find that out.

BTW - I running Jaunty.
