Here is what is happening with the original lirc_imon in natty:

$ modprobe -v lirc_imon
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/lirc/lirc_imon.ko 
FATAL: Error inserting lirc_imon 
(/lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/lirc/lirc_imon.ko): 
Invalid argument

When I do as suggested by others and manually copy over the version that
was built by DKMS, that error goes away. I also had a number of kernel
crashes on my AMD64 X2 system when loading some imon related modules so
I had to blacklist imon, rc-imon-mce and rc-imon-pad. I don't have the
time to find out which one caused the crash.

I think we are looking at two bugs here:

1) The imon modules that come delivered with natty don't work with the iMon PAD 
and may even course a kernel crash.
2) The lirc-modules-source package contains an older version of the lirc_imon 
driver.

Ideally, 1) would be fixed but for now I'd rather have at least 2) work.
