Here's a link to what I'm talking about:

I have one of those Packard Bell remotes and could never get it to
work properly with LIRC. Granted, that was just prior to the Lirc 0.7
release while lirc was having a fair bit of trouble playing well with
FC2 and I'm not exactly a linux expert, so it is not surprising that I
couldn't make it work. I'd like to give it a shot again. Would you
mind sharing your configuration info with me? What version of lirc are
you using, what does your lircd.conf look like, what does your
modprobe.conf look like?
I definitely don't use that remote. The only reason I bought that
remote was for the serial IR adapter. It has an obscenely long cable
and just plain works. I use the 15-2117 (same as the 15-2116 but with
UHF - they discontinued it.) from Radio Shack. It is an *awesome* JP1
programmable universal remote. My lircd.conf and my lircrc files are
the same ones that Jarod provides in his guide (since I'm using the same
remote).
