I just reinstalled Karmic 9.10 and the first thing I did after updating the system was to install lirc and run the following:
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/90-lirc.rules
Copy and paste this in the file, then reboot (note: this only works for my device on my system):
Code:
#Attach lirc driver to Antec Verid device.
SYSFS{idVendor}=="15c2", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0043", MODE="0666", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'echo -n $id:1.0 >/sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid/unbind;\
echo -n $id:1.1 >/sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid/unbind'"
Worked as expected, and lirc0 was there as it should have been. I waited a whole year for this simple solution. Thanks to the Ubuntu community I got it, albeit a little late. 
Now to test my Harmony 550 remote with it.
