[mythtv-users] lirc_sir with Actisys 200l dongle

[Curtis Wood]

   Either, compile the kernel with the serial port's as a module - or
"setserial/dev/ttyS# uart none" - i think it is setserial... I've got
this same setup, and it is working great ;-) If you compile the serial
ports as a module - you need to load the lirc_sir first, then the serial
modules...
