Hello, I'm wanting to write a driver for lirc to allow me to transmit IR signals via a Global Caché GC-100. In essence, this requires me to communicate with the GC-100 via TCP in response to ioctls (received?) via /dev/lircX. Can anyone point me in right direction towards achieving this? Is it possible to do everything in userspace? Under Linux, there appears to be something called FUSD, which allows one to write userspace device drivers. Is there anything similar under FreeBSD? Ideally I'd like to keep the resulting solution as generic as possible, so that it can be integrated into lirc, should anyone wish to. Regards, Chris Key
