I do the same steps to get and iguanaIR driver. You can verify that it is indeed finding the igdaemon by grepping /var/log/daemon.log for a line like:

    lircd-0.9.0-pre1[1363]: lircd(iguanaIR) ready, using /var/run/lirc/lircd

You can also test at the igdaemon level to be sure it’s seeing your remote, use the instructions at http://www.iguanaworks.net/2012/igclient-examples/ <http://www.iguanaworks.net/2012/igclient-examples/>

Their site used to have a useful faq but they did a reorg and took away the useful info. Their support ticketing system used to be publicly viewable and very helpful but that’s gone too. Sometimes you can pick up hits from google’s caches for as long as that lasts.

Anyway see if the igdaemon sees your remote and we can go from there. For what it’s worth my hardware.conf contains only:

	LOAD_MODULES=true
	DRIVER="iguanaIR"

and I’m not even sure if the load modules part is necessary.
