Re: Sharp's CE-IR5

Yes, It helps a lot.  The initialization of the self-powered IRDA
dongles can be tricky, so someones already done the hard part.
We could try adding this initialization code into the lirc_sir
driver(configure it at 115200) and see if we can get lirc_sir working.

I'll put something together for you to try.

Karl.
