When I load the lirc_i2c module, I have to manually create the corresponding device node, because udev doesn't. I issue something like: mkdir /dev/lirc mknod /dev/lirc/lirc0 c 61 0 It might be this has to be send to the udev developers, I don't know.

Probably this is a fault of the kernel module that don't create the dev entry in sysfs.
This is a upstream issue with the lirc kernel driver (it needs to have sysfs support added to it), nothing we can do in udev about it, sorry.
I just installed the latest lirc, 0.7.0_pre7 and I now have # la /sys/class/lirc/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Aug 8 16:44 . drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 0 Aug 8 16:01 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 8 16:45 lirc0 # la /sys/class/lirc/lirc0/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 8 16:45 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Aug 8 16:44 .. -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Aug 8 16:45 dev # cat /sys/class/lirc/lirc0/dev 61:0 It looks like lirc now has sysfs support? Is this enough to get udev working?
Oh, stupid me it's actually already working! udev created a crw-rw---- 1 root root 61, 0 Aug 8 16:45 /dev/lirc0 Nice, guess i can close this bug now:)
