With or without LIRC, how do I get the above hardware to work in current Arch as an IR receiver that passes on remote keypresses to other machines on the network, as well as receives them from port 8765 to transmit ("blast") IR to various appliances?uname -a;pacman -Q lirc;lsusb|grep nfrared wrote:Linux alarm 3.19.1-2-ARCH #1 PREEMPT Mon Mar 16 05:48:43 MDT 2015 armv5tel GNU/Linux

It had been working fine for years (on a Dockstar under Debian as well) but LIRC and what became the kernel's own /dev/input/event* have changed so often (most recently due to systemd) that I can't find applicable instructions anymore.
