lirc and the Hauppauge HVR-1950

[roccomoretti <roc...@ho...>]

Hello,

I'm trying to get the infrared receiver on my HVR-1950 to work
correctly. For a while it was working correctly using lirc_i2c, but I
can't get it to work consistently. Best I can tell, the issue is with
the IR chip detection. When the IR card works, I get something like:
[  666.020522] lirc_i2c: chip 0x10005 found @ 0x71 (Hauppauge PVR150)
When it doesn't, I get this instead:
[  147.805071] lirc_i2c: chip 0x10005 found @ 0x1a (Hauppauge IR)
which causes the HVR-1950 driver to go down, because 0x1a isn't an IR
device on the HVR-1950.

Whether lirc_i2c gets it right or not seems to be fairly arbitrary.

Is there a way to specify to lirc_i2c which address to use? Something in
hardware.conf, perhaps?

(BTW, I tried using the lirc_pvr150 module, but that fails rather
miserably with a "lirc_pvr150: i2c_master_send failed with -5" error,
and Google is of absolutely no use on trying to figure that one out.)

Thanks.
