I'm trying to get Ubuntu 6.10 working as a MythTV frontend, on a machine
thatt was working preffectly using KoppMyth.The only reminaing issue is the
remote control. I have a StremZapper. 

Looks like the module is getting loaded corectly:

[42949389.780000] lirc_streamzap: no version for "lirc_unregister_plugin"
found: kernel tainted.
[42949389.790000] lirc_streamzap[-1]: Streamzap, Inc. Streamzap Remote
Control on usb1:2 attached
[42949389.790000] lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 0
[42949389.790000] usbcore: registered new driver lirc_streamzap
[42949389.790000] lirc_streamzap $Revision: 1.16 $ registered

And here is my /etc/lirc/hardware.conf file:


# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
# Arguments which will be used when launching lircd
LIRCD_ARGS=""

#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
#START_LIRCMD=false

#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES=true

# Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers.
DRIVER="lircd-streamzap"
# If DEVICE is set to /dev/lirc and devfs is in use /dev/lirc/0 will be
# automatically used instead
DEVICE=""
MODULES=""

# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCD_CONF=""
LIRCMD_CONF=""

And here is my lircd.conf

end remote

But when I do /etc/init.d/lirc  restart, I still get:

What have I done wrong?
