Hauppauge WinTV IR modules broken in Natty? Previously working in 10.10.
Similar to many out there, I am having problems with Natty AMD64 (Ubuntu 11.04) and LIRC/IR-Keytables.
I have a Hauppauge WinTV card (Bt878) (TV card and IR receiver/transmitter) that worked (for the first time) automatically with 10.10 and LIRC. I recently moved over to 11.04, copied my LIRC config files over (hardware.conf, lircd.conf, lircmd.conf, etc), and received the error “couldn't find any node at /sys/class/rc/rc*”
The modules I had previously been successful with were: lirc_dev & lirc_i2c, as is apropriate for my speific card.
I then learned that Natty incorporated a lot of RC elements in to the kernel, and tried following:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=101151
Which suggested removing lirc. At this point, ir-keytable also gives the same error about no node at /sys/class/rc/rc*
I think that I am having a problem with the correct driver being loaded for my card. When I look at a dmesg, the relevant section is: (note: I'm not sure if this dmesg was from before or after I uninstalled LIRC and just tried keytables)
The 3rd last line makes it seem that the IR capabilities have been recognized – further confusing me as to why no /sys/class/rc/rc* has been registered.Code:[ 8.074866] bttv: driver version 0.9.18 loaded [ 8.074870] bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture [ 8.075367] bttv: Bt8xx card found (0).

First up, and I’ve seen multiple users baffled by this already, there were i2c changes in 2.6.33 (iirc) that necessitated some major changes in core device drivers exporting i2c interface ids, as well as in device drivers looking to bind to those exported i2c interfaces. Historically, lirc_i2c would bind to just about anything that was listening at the right i2c address. Now the i2c subsystem enforces only allowing the driver to bind to an interface that actually advertises an exported id the driver claims to support. So certain Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 cards that have a Zilog z8 IR chip on them used to work with lirc_i2c stopped working, as the lirc_i2c driver doesn’t claim to support an i2c device id of ir_rx_z8f0811_haup. However, the lirc_zilog driver *does* claim to support ir_rx_z8f0811_haup. So the answer to this problem is for people to use lirc_zilog instead (after acquiring the requisite “firmware” blob that it needs — google knows where to find it, its also covered somewhere on this site in a blog posting on the hdpvr’s IR part). Note that lirc_i2c is likely to disappear entirely in the relatively near future, supplanted entirely by ir-kbd-i2c, which is now ported to ir-core, and its input layer event device can be snarfed for keypress data. It even works with ir_rx_z8f0811_haup devices (lirc_i2c *could* be made to support them as well, but I see no point in it, when its going away anyway)
...
I've never been directed to google a firmware blob, and haven't yet found anything specific to my card. Does anyone have some direction as to an approach to this? Would it be easier (or possible) to try disable ubuntu's ir-core elements and try stick to my old friendly lirc with working lirc_i2c components?
Thanks!
