lirc have different drivers for different ir receiver harware. you need
to load the correct module unless it have it loaded automaticly. Like I
have imon vfd with buildin ir receiver so I have to modprobe lirc_imon.
My capture card have an i2c type so lirc_i2c instead. The dev/lircd will
be there even the correct module is not loaded on my system I got
/dev/lirc0 too.
in my /etc/modules I have following lines unsure if the lirc_dev is
required:
lirc_dev
lirc_imon
Hope it helps
