I have also encountered this bug (lirc_i2c module missing in kernel 2.6.38-8-generic and 2.6.38-11-generic) in Mythbuntu.

affects:

linux (Ubuntu) → mythbuntu

This needs to be fixed on the Ubuntu kernel build configs, so it would need to be fixed in the linux source package.

affects:

mythbuntu → linux (Ubuntu)

Some more googling seems to indicate the same problem in archlinux and gentoo.

Patch http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-natty.git;a=commit;h=41ca2b1ac269e2ed64e2562b91fa61cab0b19e7a removed this driver, so you should probably use ir-kbd-i2c instead.

Unfortunately, ir-kbd-i2c did not work properly with my remote control (there was a spate of other users at the time using 9.04) who had the same problem. udev hooked the device before lirc could get it. I could not stop this from happening, and now on 11.04, my device is not recognised at all by ir-kdb-i2c.

Why remove lirc_i2c if it's still doing something useful?
