You have the stuff for *a* hauppauge remote, there are several. :) So if 
its not working, try with all of them in there, then figure out which 
one is the right one.

Remove that. Its completely unnecessary. And wrong, since you're using 
lirc_zilog.

Line-of-sight at what distance? I think that one is a short-range 
transmitter, intended to be stuck to the face of the cable box.

No.

They're just warnings. You're not supposed to use /etc/modprobe.conf 
anymore, everything is supposed to go into /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf, and 
files that don't end with .conf (like your lirc one) are going to be 
ignored in the future. So don't use /etc/modprobe.conf, and rename the 
lirc one to lirc.conf, and the warnings should go away.
