Need help with LIRC and HVR-2250

[Luc G. <luc...@gm...>]

Hi everyone,

I've got a mythtv setup and am using an ATI Remote Wonder II to
control the MythTV box, so am not using LIRC for that.

What I want to use LIRC for is sending channel change commands for my
DCT700 STB.

I have an HVR-2250 as my main input source and I have a IR Blaster
connected to it.

I read around that for most HVR cards, using the lirc_zilog module is
a way of getting it working. I have not seen any 100% confirmation of
this, so I have assumed it will work and am following the process that
others have to get it working.

I posted on the Mythbuntu forum but have not received any replies. No
point rephrasing here, here's what I posted
(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2088142):

I'm running Mythbuntu 12.04, kernel version 3.2.0-32, and I am trying
to get the IRBlaster working on my Hauppauge HVR-2250. I installed
LIRC from the Mythbuntu Software Center and I deduced that I need to
load the lirc_zilog module.... I followed the instructions located
here:

http://jaysdesktop.blogspot.ca/2012/06/configuring-lirc-for-hvr-1600-in-ubuntu.html

As that post states, the lirc-modules-source package is not available
for 12.04, so I took the lirc_zilog.ko from my staging directory
(/lib/modules/3.2.0-32-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/media/lirc) and
placed it in here:
/lib/modules/3.2.0-32-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/media/lirc/lirc_zilog.ko

When I try to modprobe lirc_zilog I get

[ 1419.291447] lirc_zilog: disagrees about version of symbol
lirc_register_driver
[ 1419.291458] lirc_zilog: Unknown symbol lirc_register_driver (err -22)

I'd like some help in resolving this conflict.

I also tried doing what the post suggests and downloading the .deb
file and extracting the lirc_zilog.ko file, but it has the same
results.

I can kind of deduce the module is not of the proper version, but if I
don't have access to the lirc-modules-source, I can't do a
reconfigure, so I just don't see how I am supposed to get modules of
the proper version? Anyway, any help I could get would be awesome as
I'm really almost there with this box, only missing this piece.
Thanks,

Luc
