Where does this deposit the new lirc_mceusb and lirc_dev modules? I have only found the old versions, I think. They say they were last modified on March 5th. Obviously, today is the 15th.
<snip> From Joe Huffner The easiest way would be to download version 0.7.0 of lirc from www.lirc.org, overwrite the lirc_mceusb.c file with the newer one, compile the new version, copy the new lirc_dev.ko and lirc_mceusb.ko over the existing lirc modules (Make sure to make a backup copy of the original module files). They should be located in /lib/modules/*your kernel version*/misc/ </snip> This is not in my FC3 load. Can anyone tell me where these drivers ended up? Thanks!
