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

>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).

>(1) it all went fine until I tried to make, when I got an
