Peter,
How do you know that the firmware is not loading? I initially had the same
problem when setting it up. I would use irsend and the command would run
without error, but there were no signals or blinking lights coming from the
blaster. I tracked it down to the firmware not being loaded. What is the
output of "grep lirc /var/log/messages"? Mine now looks like this:
May 2 21:01:05 divo kernel: lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered,
at major 61
May 2 21:01:05 divo kernel: lirc_pvr150: chip found with RX and TX
May 2 21:01:06 divo kernel: lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 0
May 2 21:01:06 divo kernel: lirc_pvr150: firmware of size 258140 loaded
May 2 21:01:06 divo kernel: lirc_pvr150: 654 codesets loaded
May 2 21:01:06 divo kernel: lirc_pvr150: Hauppauge PVR-150 IR blaster:
