Hmm, just to make sure that I know what your are talking about: It is 
the 433/315 MHz (depending on what side of the Atlantic you reside) 
remote, with a small USB receiver, right? Just receive, no sending.

At the time Lirc was designed (mid-end 1990-ies), Linuxers were very 
much in love with kernel modules.  Now things have changed...

I just discovered that there _is_ a atilibusb plugin, that is supposed 
to offer a kernelspace driver. However, you write

 > (Not atilibusb - I need channels, 1-16)

Could it not be fixed? Anyhow, if you want support for a "lirc kernel 
driver", I think (Alec correct me if I am wrong) the Linux media list is 
the correct address.

Greetz,
