two serial devices.

[Rick S. <ric...@ho...>]

hi.

i am trying to get two serial devices working with lirc.  one device is on 
ttyS0 and is an ir receiver.  the other is on ttyS1 and is an ir 
transmitter.  i have the first device working but cannot figure out how to 
load the lirc_serial module a second time to support the emitter on ttyS0.  
i apollogise in advance as part of my problem may be due to my ignorance of 
the modprobe.d interface in my linux distro ubuntu edgy eft.

so far i have tried to create an lirc file in /etc/modprobe.d as follows:

alias char-major-61 lirc_serial
alias char-major-61 lirc_serial_2

options lirc_serial irq=4 io=0x3f8
install lirc_serial /bin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none ;\
    /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_serial

options lirc_serial_2 irq=3 io=0x2f8
install lirc_serial_2 /bin/setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart none ;\
    /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_serial

after i did depmod -a and attempted to modprobe lirc_serial and 
lirc_serial_2.  i used -v with modprobe and i could see it was running the 
right setserial command so it seemed to work, but i end up with only a 
/dev/lirc0 and i was expecting to have /dev/lirc1 as well.  in addition 
lsmod | grep lirc shows this:

lirc_serial 14592 0
lirc_dev 16244 1 lirc_serial

any help would be appreciated.
