Public bug reported:
I have an Antec case with an iMon knob device, as well as a serial port
IR receiver. The knob produces events, so I don't need lirc for it. I
also use the imon device for lcdproc. I run lirc, solely to communicate
with the serial IR device. The current lirc init script attempts to
modify the imon device in /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols. This is
unnecessary, as I don't intend to use that device with lirc, and
furthermore, for reasons unknown, it occasionally causes the computer to
fail to shut down. I don't particularly care why echoing "none" to
/sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols hangs occasionally, because it isn't an
operation that needs to be done at all on my system. I can edit the
init script to prevent this happening, but I'd much prefer for there to
be an option in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf to prevent in-kernel support
from being disabled while i run lirc, and re-enabled when I stop it.
Attached is a patch with a suggested method.
