Feb 22 19:36:43 tv1 lirc_mceusb2: USB remote driver for LIRC v0.22

Feb 22 19:36:44 tv1 lirc_mceusb2[2]: SMK eHome Infrared Transceiver on usb1:2
Feb 22 19:36:44 tv1 usbcore: registered new driver lirc_mceusb2

The trick was the Martin Blatter driver.  Now that I have the device nodes I can proceede.  Thanks.

So I see what your doing and it makes sense.  Are you using the IR Blaster that came with this kit?  It plugs into the 
back of the IR receiver.  Or does the second lirc1 run another USB device you purchased?

Also, can you post your remote configs.  It looks like you have this nailed down.

Thanks,

Andrew
