>>>>> Lets first explain what is what and created by what:
>>>>> 1: When the kernel loads the support for lirc it creates through udev
>>>>> the devices /dev/lirc0 and /dev/lirc1 and through your own rule
>>>>> udev adds the simlink /dev/lircSerial. Without the card the last
>>>>> will point to /dev/lirc0 and with the card to /dev/lirc1.
>>>>> 2: Then comes in lircd (remember the extra d) lirc will create a
>>>>> socket (which is a kind of doorway) to the desired device.
>>>>> /var/run/lircd and a link to this socket in /dev/ /dev/lircd.
>>>>> You originally configured it through mcc and this program probably
>>>>> creates the file /etc/lirc/hardware.conf.
>>>>> By default this socket is called lircd. To prevent the new card
>>>>> from interfering we tried to give the socketfile it own uniek name.
>>>>>
>>>>> This all seemed to work but have you tried if it worked with irsend -d
>>>>> /var/run/lirc/lircdSerial?
