This is the first error. The device here should be the device listed by
ir-keytable, ans also the one you tested in step one using a simple 'cat':

$ sudo ir-keytable
Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event8) with:
        Driver mceusb, table rc-rc6-mce

Here, it seems to be /dev/input/event8. Note that this might change
after a reboot, so check each time before you fix hardware.conf.

Note that the /dev/lirc* devices are irrelevant when using the devinput
driver.

Now, update hardware.conf with the proper device, restart lirc, check
using irw and report back.


Cheers!
