Apps :: How can I get lirc working on a frugal install?

I believe lirc does not use the irda stack at all, but might be wrong.

Searching on www.lirc.org, they do not have complete support for IrDA devices yet. They explicitly state that USB IrDA Dongles are not supported. They also say that a dongle can be used through a serial port but needs "tweaking of the IrDA physical layer protocol." (http://www.lirc.org/irda.html)

bpsg119: The .dsl I created works for DSL 3.4.4 LiveCD with the device that I have. I'm not completely sure if it will work for a homebrew design since I don't have the hardware here to test it. I still need to do some other testing of it before I can submit it to the extentions.

I also created a setserial.dsl (actually I made it last year) so I don't have use a deb file.
