Same problem here, something weird is going on.

I have a pi2 with a full raspbian install and kodi in it. I have found that lirc get's flooded with commands "from the remote" when the network cable is unplugged.

You can see that using the following procedure:

1.- Unplug the network cable

2.- Log in to the raspberry (I do it through console, may be you can do it using ssh by wifi)

3.- stop the lirc service:

sudo /etc/init.d/lirc stop

4.- run the following command:

mode2 -d /dev/lirc0

you will see an endless list of entries on screen like this

pulse 930
space 835
pulse 1811
space 836
pulse 931
space 834
[....]

5.- Plug the network cable
those entries cease to appear , and you can se that pressing the keys on the remote is what triggers those entries

So in summary, when the network cable is unplugged, for some unknown reason, lirc is flooded with keystrokes. When you plug the network cable lirc works fine and only detects the real keystrokes.


(sorry, my english is not really good)

I solved my problem.

I was using a salvaged IR receiver from a broken TDT set top box.
Today, I have bought a new TSOP4838 and replaced the salvaged component, and is working fine now.

I have checked overlays folder and it has all the overlays, and I added the line dtoverlay=lirc-rpi to the config file, then but still no luck getting lirc to show up in dmesg
