Comment 2 for bug 1065138

I tried to compile the module from the latest release of lirc. The module was built and modprobed successfully (under quantal and wheezy) but the ir device was unusable.
I suppose there is some problem with linux 3.x. It seems that some modules need to be rewritten in order to work properly under 3.x.
As an example I had the same problem with a dvb-usb driver. When the module was rewritten for linux 3.3 the device restarted to work as expected.
