That's what I wanted to do. I wanted to write a character device
which on read() passes the last IR-code.

Well as Mike Smith told me: "you cannot poll the serial line at 
anything like a useful speed to perform IR decoding" my hopes are
all gone to get a simple solution.

Do I have to write my own serial driver to get what I want or
is it possible to use functions of the "build in" serial
device driver?
