Kernel 3.0 upgrade broke my lirc

Yesterday I upgraded my 2.6.34 based arch intallation to the current set of packages and Kernel 3.0 was part of it.

Now lirc does not work anymore.
I have also manually upgraded  lirc to 0.9.0 but still no luck

ir-keytable

Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event4) with:
	Driver cx88xx, table rc-hauppauge
	Supported protocols: NEC RC-5 RC-6 JVC SONY LIRC 
	Enabled protocols: LIRC 
	Extra capabilities: <access denied>

sudo ir-keytable

sudo irrecord -H dev/input -d /dev/input/event4 /tmp/xxx
