Hi All!
I just want to that lirc packeges in breezy completely broken :) and I want 
some feedback from developers. I`ve open a bug (#19436) in bugzilla 
onhttps://bugzilla.ubuntu.com  but don`t have any response :(  There are many 
reports on ubuntu forums about that problem and I think that is well known 
problem. Here is detailed overview of the problem:

My kernel(2.6.12 + linux-patch-ubuntu-2.6.12) compiled with slightly changed 
config from ubuntu`s linux-image-2.6.12-9-686 package

================   
   
I know that 2.6.x has modules with .ko extension but there I`ve got .o like in    
2.4. I don`t know what is problem but with lirc packages from debian unstable    
everything works fine, however it is outdated too.
