[mythtv-users] IRW not connecting to LIRCD

[mythtv at cxdonline.com]

according to ls -lag /dev | grep lirc there is only the link I created and
lircd:
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root       12 Jul 19 18:45 lirc -> /dev/ttyUSB0
srw-rw-rw-   1 root        0 Jul 19 19:08 lircd

is /dev/lircd what I am looking for? How can I connect it to /dev/ttyUSB0?

Steve
