LIRC not working after upgrade to 12.04

[ExpressTrain]

I just upgraded from 11.04 to 12.04 (stopping at 11.10 for about 5 minutes). Primarily use this machine for MythTv (frontend and backend). I have 2 Hauppauge 350 capture cards, one of them has the IR receiver cable plugged in. After the upgrade everything seems to be working except the IR remote control. I tried running "$sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc" and it gave me this output:
* Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC [fail]
ls: cannot access /lib/modules/3.2.0-24-generic-pae/kernel/drivers/staging/lirc: No such file or directory
* Loading LIRC modules [ OK ]
* Unable to load LIRC kernel modules. Verify your
* selected kernel modules in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf

I also looked in the /dev folder (because the mythtv frontend configuration menus referenced something in /dev/lirc), and there is nothing there beginning with "lirc".

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Got the same issue. But I did a new installation and try to get a Hauppauge PVR-150 working.

Anyone else any ideas?

Every update the same problem :( Got the same problem, too

At the moment it is working again! I did several things so I don't know what exactly helped :p
