Can you tell me more?  I'm following the instructions provided by the
IguanaWorks support website for their iguanaIR USB four-way transmitter
which I have controlling four separate DTAs.  My understanding was that the
kernel mode lirc was fine for receiving control signals from an IR remote,
but to control the DTAs I'd have to stick with user-space lirc and since it
didn't have iguanaIR support built in I'd have to compile it in.  How would
I move to lirc 0.9.2 and what further work would I need to do to implement
iguanaIR support with 0.9.2?
