Hi Sean,

have you considered using a module param for the LIRC bridge module instead? As far as I understand it, this is an issue which is entirely internal to LIRC, and it's also not something which really needs to be changed on a per-device level (either you have a modern LIRC daemon or you don't, and all drivers should behave the same, no?).

Another advantage is that the parameter would then go away if and when the lirc bridge ever goes away (yes, I can still dream, can't I?).

Regards,
David
