Look at Lirc (driver iguanaIR.c) and Linux. @leamas is a knowledge source.

This issue replaces https://github.com/bengtmartensson/harctoolboxbundle/issues/53

This device is in modern Linuxes supported by the kernel, i.e. using the /dev/lirc interface, which is already covered by DevSlashLirc. In this sense, it is already supported on Linux.

Disadvantages:

Comparatively expensive (40 USD)
Not that widely spread
No active user base
Comparatively old, not really developing
Recommended use requires daemon process (igdaemon), which on Linux clashes with the kernel driver.

Setting this to wontfix. If someone volunteers, they are welcome.
