Re: LIRC and USB-UIRT on Fedora 10

[Peter F. Patel-S. <pf...@re...>]

I found the problem!  It had nothing to do with Fedora 10.

There are two possible responses to an "identify" request depending on
the age the device, which have different lengths.  The driver was first
checking for the short (old) one and then the long (new) one.  Of
course, checksumming a long response as if it was a short one didn't
work.

So, the "error" is benign, except that doing a double check is costly.

I've modified the code to simply not do the old check, for now.  I may
be able to figure out how to change the program to work better, but I
may just live with the problem.
