Maybe I simply dont understand "address" in this context, but if
I pass any wrong address with the '-a [adress]' parameter
no keycode should be accepted at all.
(except those cases where the upper address bits are ignored)
So when I try adress 0-3 there should be a minimum of 3 values
where no codes are accepted.

As I wrote there is no change at all, wich means all codes are
accepted (0x00-0x3f and 0x40-0x7f) in every case.


If I modify the
REMOTE_KEYMAP="-a 1 /video/haupneu1.rc5" line
to
REMOTE_KEYMAP="-a1 /video/haupneu1.rc5"
or
REMOTE_KEYMAP=" -a 1 /video/haupneu1.rc5"
or
REMOTE_KEYMAP=" -a1 /video/haupneu1.rc5"
nothing happens, no change, no error message
but I think at least one of them would not work.

It is in this range, otherwise i get the "... emit key unknown key 0xXX"
message, no RC is possible at all.

So I think the parameter is simply not parsed, or stripped
before the commandline is built.

Or are there "special" addresses in RC5 wich tells the receiving
device to accept the codes in any case?
If so, is this implemented in the driver?
Maybe my RC is programmed with this address, it is
not easy to figure this out in the programming tools because
they work with strange codes wich are not directly related to
what codes are really send.

Its a bit tricky to change this because this is not a complete
distribution, except of some basic config files all the stuff is
packed in images or archives.
I would try it if it helps to find out why the parameter is ignored,
but I doubt this is the case (especially when '-a ' is lost
somewhere before the av71110_loadkeys... line).
