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
