@Fabian: Although your issue might be somewhat related you are looking
at a different thing. Within natty the kernel comes with a complete new
imon driver. Therefore the ones in lirc-modules-source will fail. You
should not use the ones in lirc-modules-source anymore.

To completely get rid of it I had to: uninstall it, remove my current
kernel, remove the /lib/modules that belongs to that kernel and
reinstall the kernel again. There must be easier ways to achieve this,
but you know, I had no time to think it over.

I have kernel crashes as well with the new driver (my device is a iMon
Pad with usb id: 15c2:ffdc). However, since this is a new driver, it is
a new case as well (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/794234).

Concerning this case: since I have upgraded my box I don't have this
issue anymore.

Title:
  lirc_imon.ko does not get installed through dkms

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lirc

  Dkms does not install the lirc_imon.ko from lirc_modules_source when
  the kernel gets upgraded (in current lucid). The dkms output reads:

  lirc_imon.ko:
  Running module version sanity check.

  Error! Module version 0.6 for lirc_imon.ko
  is not newer than what is already found in kernel 2.6.32-21-generic (0.6).
  You may override by specifying --force.

  Fact is that the lirc_imon.ko provided by the default kernel does not
  work with the following imon controller:

  15c2:ffdc SoundGraph Inc. iMON PAD Remote Controller

  Manually copying the module built by DKMS solves the problem

  sudo cp
  /var/lib/dkms/lirc/kernel-2.6.32-21-generic-i686/module/lirc_imon.ko
  /lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/updates/dkms/

  It would be nice if dkms could copy this file regardless of the
  version available in the kernel (using the -f option?)
