I didn't mess with anything, besides creating a symbolic link.  I
removed the symbolic link, and all is as it was when it was first
installed.  irw is working fine by the way.  The lirc_i2c module is not
creating those devices that you listed, and I have no idea how to fix
that.  Can't I get myth to see the lirc0 device?  In my view,
mythfrontend should have some way to configure stuff like that.
