Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu: Expired

Bug description:
I have Hauppauge HVR-1110 TV tuner. The card itself works fine, but after i upgraded to ubuntu 8.10 i noticed that i had lost lirc. I tried restarting lirc with "/etc/init.d/lirc restart verbose" and got this:
 * Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC                               [fail] 
 * Loading LIRC modules                                                  [ OK ] 
 * Unable to load LIRC kernel modules. Verify your
 * selected kernel modules in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
Then i used "cat /proc/bus/input/devices" command to see if my ir receiver is even recognized - it was not.

When i try using lircd -n and irw, it crashes and i get this output from lircd -n:
lircd-0.8.3[7843]: lircd(userspace) ready
lircd-0.8.3[7843]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
lircd-0.8.3[7843]: could not get file information for /dev/lirc
lircd-0.8.3[7843]: default_init(): No such file or directory
lircd-0.8.3[7843]: caught signal

Only errors i get in syslog, dmesg and messages are those same "lircd -n" errors.

If i boot back to 2.6.24-16 kernel, the problem is gone, lirc works okay.
