Here you got something wrong. irexec is *not* a loadable module, and if
you want to use it you need to have lircd running. irexec reads only the
lircd output socket.

This means that you should use the default driver. The first step is to
test that things are OK using mode2 with something like --driver default
--device /dev/lirc0

You might need to set the protocol to 'lirc' to mute the dev/input
device and direct the kernel data to /dev/lirc0 instead. This is just
from [1]
