Hi all!

Markus, thank you for your reply.

Meanwhile got some feedback, which I added to the patch.

Changes:

    * The configure script is now part of the patch file. The command
      autoconf had to be executed in the version before.
    * Settings of serial port were only correct if LIRC was running
      before. Now, the driver can be configured to configure the port on
      its own.
    * Added some parameters controlling the collaberation with other
      drivers using the same serial port (particularly LIRC).

Further feedback is welcome!

And again, I am looking for more information on this device. If anyone 
should know the one or other thing, please let me know.

Regards,
Wolfgang
