The USB-UIRT appears as a normal usb-serial device in /dev. Lirc
accesses this directly and implements the driver itself, so therefore
there is no kernel module involved. Should be a matter of just
installing/maybe patching & rebuilding lirc, certainly not the kernel.
As to what to do to set one up, I don't know yet. Mine's only just
arrived and hasn't been plugged in, so if anyone has got a quick guide
that'd be very handy.
If not, I'll post what I did when I've got it up and running.
Cheers,
Martin.

I have had one for years. I used it on my Windows box for controlling
the turner when I used Snapstream. I plugged in on to my linux box when
I started Myth and was able to use it with some scripts I wrote using
misterhouse. It was a hack but it worked when I needed it. I did not
play with the Lirc patch because it was not out at the time. I since
converted to MyBlaster and it works great using a simple script to
change channels. I have not used the USB_UIRT for receiving IR on Linux.
