 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
