Snapstream Firefly not properly supported

[eyal0]

I have a Snapstream Firefly IR remote that is not supported. This is the product:

http://www.snapstream.com/products/firefly/

I was able to get it working after adding some code to xbian's lirc package. Let me know if there is interest and I will contribute the code.

yes, please.

if your work can be integrated to keep IR device & config file auto-configuration, feel free to commit changes into your copy & request a pull against this repo.

The change is not too large but I see one problem: udev is not recognizing the IR receiver. So, I can either add a rule to udev or I can leave the device as /dev/input/event0 . The rest of the changes are the same, however.

I'll write the change and make the pull request and you can decide if you prefer to also have a change in udev rules to recognize the IR receiver.

@eyal0

what is name of kernel module ? (and [vendor]:[product]) ?

I am not an expert at udev, so I'm not sure what the right information that you need is.

This is the relevant output in "dmesg":

[ 11.933671] udevd[600]: starting version 175 [ 13.114511] Registered IR keymap rc-snapstream-firefly [ 13.114944] input: X10 Wireless Technology Inc USB Receiver as /devices/platform/bcm2708_usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/1-1.3:1.0/rc/rc0/input0 [ 13.115578] rc0: X10 Wireless Technology Inc USB Receiver as /devices/platform/bcm2708_usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/1-1.3:1.0/rc/rc0 [ 13.115804] input: X10 Wireless Technology Inc USB Receiver mouse as /devices/platform/bcm2708_usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/1-1.3:1.0/input/input1

And here are my changes. After I figure out what to do about udev, maybe I can organize them. One of the changes is to Lircmap.xml, however, which is not part of this git repository.
