hardware.conf is a file which was used on Debian at some point but it is
no longer used. All the options are in /etc/lirc/lirc_options.conf

Having said that, what exactly are you trying to achieve? You might
not need lirc at all. What remote are you trying to use and do you
have a remote definition for it in mind?

Thanks,

Sean
