can you list those updates? More people can eyeball them and may be know if those affect the lirc somehow.

what are you using as your IR device?

How can I check to see if my driver for the IR device is working 
properly? If I try to go into /dev/lirc/ it says not a directory. How do 
I know if I am using the in-kernel version vs a compiled version? I 
downloaded the source for lirc and did the make install procedure again 
to no avail. The only thing I can think of that would have broken it was 
some updates I installed today, but I unchecked off of the ones dealing 
with kernel headers and stuff to try to avoid this issue...
