This bug is old.

The loast release (0.9.4c - zesty) deals with this. Actually the default
configuration  (--driver devinput --device auto) should cover the
devinput case. Here is also new documentation on how to setup the
default driver (also available at http://lirc.org/html/configuration-
guide.html.  Clsoing.

Title:
  Snapstream Firefly non-functional

Status in lirc package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lirc

  Using the mythbuntu control center configuration for a Snapstream
  Firefly and atilibusb, no key presses show up under mythtv or irw.

  I couldn't get the userspace driver to work in 10.10 either (but
  didn't file a bug - bad user).  In 10.10, I got it working using the
  lirc_atiusb module, but that also doesn't work under 11.04.

  I've attached the hardware.conf below.  The lircd.conf just includes
  /usr/share/lirc/remotes/atiusb/lircd.conf.atilibusb
