The lirc_pvr150 module only supports Hauppauge cards with a Zilog Z8F08xx microcontroller IR blaster. I think there are Hauppauge cards with an IR blaster that don't use this chip. Inspect both cards to see if they both have the Zilog Z8 chip. > To recap just a bit: > On boot the modules 'lirc_dev' and 'lirc_pvr150' are loaded fine. > > I only see a single /dev/lirc0 device file.

A quick skim of the lirc_pvr150 code reveals that it should support more than one Z8 based IR blaster device. > Any suggestions? > > Rick > ------ > Output from log: > Sep 12 23:43:45 myhost kernel: lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver > registered, major 61 > Sep 12 23:43:45 myhost kernel: lirc_pvr150: chip found with RX and TX > Sep 12 23:43:45 myhost kernel: lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: > sample_rate: 0 > Sep 12 23:43:45 myhost kernel: lirc_pvr150: firmware of size 302355 loaded > Sep 12 23:43:45 myhost kernel: lirc_pvr150: 743 codesets loaded > Sep 12 23:43:45 myhost kernel: lirc_pvr150: Hauppauge PVR-150 IR > blaster: firmware version 1.3.0 lirc_pvr150 found a Z8 responding on I2C addresses 0xe0 and 0xe2 (or 0x70 and 0x71 if you prefer) on the first card. > Sep 12 23:43:45 myhost kernel: lirc_pvr150: ivtv i2c driver #1: no > devices found lirc_pvr150 did not find a Z8 responding on I2C addresses 0xe0 and 0xe2 (or 0x70 and 0x71 if you prefer) for transmit nor receive on the second card. I bet you have a card without a Z8 chip. Some other lirc or ir module is required to handle that one, if that is the case.
