What hardware is this?  bt878?  cx2388x?

bt878 based cards should do just fine since ages, both lirc driver
(lirc_i2c) and linux input layer driver (ir-kbd-i2c, ships with the
2.6 kernels, see http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/faq.html#ir).  You
can't use both drivers at the same time through.

For cx2388x support (via linux input layer) you need a cutting edge
snapshot from http://dl.bytesex.org/cvs-snapshots/.  I hacked it up
yesterday, it is in the video4linux cvs since about 24 hours.  Just
load the cx88 driver, you'll get a input device then.  That works
completely different btw, no i2c involved, there is no way to make
lirc_i2c work with this hardware.

Doesn't matter much, all Hauppauge remotes speak RC5 ...
