It seems that the ignore rule makes the hal system IGNORE the infrared remote, so that lirc can register the remote. Without this rule, the computer thinks my remote is a keyboard, reading only the Enter key and the digits. So, basicly, the rule says something like "this is a IR remote, m.f., leave it alone, its for LIRC to use".
