=== IR support in newer kernels ===
Newer kernels require the creation of '''/etc/modprobe.d/cx23885.conf''' containing <code>options cx23885 enable_885_ir=1</code> for IR support.
After a reboot '''/sys/class/rcX''' should show up (X starting at 0 with no other IR devices around).

IR support in newer kernels

Newer kernels require the creation of /etc/modprobe.d/cx23885.conf containing options cx23885 enable_885_ir=1 for IR support. After a reboot /sys/class/rcX should show up (X starting at 0 with no other IR devices around).
