Actually, no, Alec was pointing out that lirc has a nice device name
matching feature built in so you don't need udev rules. But Kirk, make sure
your device parameter has no spaces. In other words,
--device=name="*Spinel*"
If you're using hardware.conf, it would look like
REMOTE_DEVICE="name='*Spinel*'" (note the single quotes inside, which I
think should work)
