Hi Marc et al,

This isn't a remote exactly.  It's an IR receiver/blaster in-one.
Support is in LIRC and recompiling LIRC once I install the header files
from the iguanair website (http://www.iguanaworks.net) it Just Works(tm)
:)

The downfall of performing the additional actions necessary to get it to
Just Work is that everyone who uses Mythbuntu may not be as comfortable
doing command line manipulations and using apt.  IMHO *Buntu was
originally designed to overcome this exact situation where users have a
difficult time getting things to work because of complex (to them)
compiling issues and non-automated tasks.

In summary, once the GPL headers are downloaded and installed (available
at http://www.iguanaworks.net) recompiling the lirc package makes it
Just Work.

Seems like something that could easily be taken care of in *buntu.

Thanks!

-Chad
