Hi TecnoBrat,

Installing lirc-modules-source solved the problem, thanks! dkms
automatically was called to compile and use all the lirc kernel modules
included in the source package, including lirc_i2c.

I was surprised this would work, as the package description for it says,
"Also, note that this package is not necessary for usage on Ubuntu since
the modules are shipped in linux-ubuntu-modules.  It is soley here in
the case that a local patch needs to be applied."

However, it appears the lirc_i2c.ko module included with the current
kernel (2.6.32-23) is based on not the same source as is included in
lirc-modules-source.

root@vmhost:/lib/modules# ls -la `find . -name lirc_i2c.ko`
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21208 2010-06-11 08:02 ./2.6.32-23-server/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_i2c/lirc_i2c.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21176 2010-07-10 12:46 ./2.6.32-23-server/updates/dkms/lirc_i2c.ko

I am now getting a warning from dkms that the built and installed
versions are different of this module.

root@vmhost:/lib/modules# dkms status
lirc, 0.8.6, 2.6.32-23-server, x86_64: installed  (WARNING! Diff between built and installed module!)
nvidia-current, 195.36.24, 2.6.32-23-server, x86_64: installed

However, the newer module is still loaded and correctly detects the
Hauppauge remote.

I found this post, which seems to lie out what the issue is:
