[mythtv-users] Re: IRW not connecting to LIRCD

[Pete Cable]

/dev/ttyUSB0 is just a serial device. I can't be sure, but I think the
ftdi_sio being loaded should cause the creation of another device, one
with a major number of 61. That is the device that lirc needs to talk
to. That said, I don't have one of these so I can't be sure :)
