I've been working on the same thing myself, looking at the Windows
driver to see what's going on there. This is how I gathered most of
the information I gave you in my previous email. By the way, if you
want you can find me on the Freenode IRC network, on channel #lirc,
and we can exchange notes on the topic in real-time (assuming we have
overlapping timezones, of course ;-))

Indeed. Looking at the Windows init code, it seems that the 3926C I'm
using is VERY different from anything else, and has its own special
init sequence.

The exact model is an HP Pavilion dv5t (i.e. the Intel based one).
However, this is not so important for the firmware init, as far as I
can see: aside from the pnp ID, what really tells the various chips
apart is the embedded ChipID and hardware version (btw, you mark it as
firmware version, but according to the KB3700 pdf it's the actual
_hardware_ version).
