Lets break this down. What version of LIRC are you using? If you are running
version 0.8.6 then you need to do sudo modprobe ir-kbd-i2c. When this module
is loaded run the following command:

cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep -A6 "i2c IR"

With the command above you are looking for what kernel device represents the
IR. On the link you sent, the above command shows:
S: Sysfs=/devices/virtual/input/input6

Once you have this information change your /etc/lirc/hardware.conf (if you
are running Ubuntu). The variables of interest are:
REMOTE_MODULES="ir-kbd-i2c"
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/input/event6"

At this point you should make sure you have the correct lircd.conf file in
/etc/lirc/
