'''Lirc_Serial'''

Many times when using the lirc_serial module, you have to use setserial to change the com port settings.
Most kernels are compiled with serial support, which causes the lirc_serial module to fail when loading.
This is because the kernel is using the Com ports IRQ and I/O.

To fix this run this command.

setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none;

''Note: on Ubuntu (and possibly other distros) you have to install the "setserial" package before running the above command.''
