Hi,
I suggest the following patch for hardware.conf:
--- /tmp/hardware.conf 2014-03-02 10:52:28.229878749 +0000
+++ /etc/lirc/hardware.conf 2014-03-02 10:55:30.005150849 +0000

#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES=true
+# You can set a driver here if your device is not supported by the lirc kernel modules
# Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers.
-DRIVER="UNCONFIGURED"
+#DRIVER="UNCONFIGURED"
+
# usually /dev/lirc0 is the correct setting for systems using udev
-DEVICE=""
+DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
MODULES=""
# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
This way:
* We document the fact that setting the DRIVER is not mandatory.
* lircd will work by default for all devices supported by kernel drivers
* to my knowledge /dev/lirc0 is the right device name used by kernel drivers.
Otherwise lircd default /dev/lirc is used.
I also filed an lircd issue upstream to ask to change the default /dev/lirc to
/dev/lirc0:

Thanks in advance,
Marc

Since the latest version on LIRC 0.9.4 (currently in experimental)
doesn't support the use of hardware.conf this bug is obsolete. Whatever
problems exists with default configuration needs to be filed in new bugs
against the new version.
