I just figured out all the lirc drivers are in the staging section of
the kernel.
I built those select the transmit option and removed the old ones and
I am still getting the same error.
If I boot back to 2.6.30 it will fail with the same error with 0.9.0,
if I compile 0.8.7 it works, exact same configuration.
I searched all the forums and tried all suggestions and cannot figure it out.
My irblaster is the one from irblaster.info
Thanks for any help
