>(hardware/cable run hassles, plus the fact I've already got

>to something else and changing port and char-major to
>something different from the original.

>(2) Implication that there may be another (perhaps simpler)
>approach, because there are two different kernel modules
>(lirc_serial and lirc_i2c).

>I found no good suggestions for how to *actually* run multiple
>lirc modules simultaneously and when I tried the rename kludge
>(1) it all went fine until I tried to make, when I got an
>error (no sources found in . or ..)

>So, I'd really appreciate knowing if anyone on the list has
>managed either of these, and can suggest instructions that
>even a noodle like me can make work...
