(sorry about earlier chopped-off message)
Has anyone managed to get LIRC to run on FreeBSD 6.0?
I have a small receiver on the serial port, /dev/cuad0 on 6.0.
irrecord can't open /dev/cuad0:
# irrecord -d /dev/cuad0 /tmp/test.conf
irrecord - application for recording IR-codes for usage with lirc

irrecord: could not open /dev/cuad0
irrecord: irman_init(): Operation timed out
irrecord: could not init hardware (lircd running ? --> close it, check permissions)
lircd runs, but as soon as irw is run, exits with this log entry:
Jan 9 20:21:39 speedy.wonkity.com lircd 0.7.2: lircd(irman) ready
Jan 9 20:21:41 speedy.wonkity.com lircd 0.7.2: accepted new client on /var/lirc/lircd
Jan 9 20:21:43 speedy.wonkity.com lircd 0.7.2: could not open /dev/cuad0
Jan 9 20:21:43 speedy.wonkity.com lircd 0.7.2: irman_init(): Operation timed out
Jan 9 20:21:43 speedy.wonkity.com lircd 0.7.2: caught signal
A quick web search seems to show people using this, although perhaps not
with 6.0.
