Hi! For those that don't read forums.freebsd.org: I posted a short review of "FreeBSD Device Drivers: A Guide for the Intrepid" by Joseph Kong, http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?p=175029 and wrote a serial lirc driver in the process. If you want to test it extract the shar, run `make DEBUG_FLAGS=-g' in the extracted uartlirc dir, then copy uartlirc.ko and uartlirc.ko.symbols to /boot/modules, reboot to loader prompt, do `load uartlirc.ko' and `boot -v'. (or add `uartlirc_load="YES"' to loader.conf and reboot.) After that make sure you have the comms/lirc port installed, then you should be able to run: mode2 -d /dev/lirc0 or if you have X, xmode2 -d /dev/lirc0 and see pulses and spaces reported when triggering a remote at the receiver, and using irrecord and lircd should work as normal too, see the pkg-message of the comms/lirc port which can be shown like this: pkg_info -D lirc\* |less Enjoy, :) Juergen
