[Bug 491860] Re: lirc_mceusb doesn't recognize eHome IR receiver
I am having the same problem on 10.10. My device is:
Windows Media Center Edition USB IR Transceiver driver
The same as the one noted by the original author of this ticket.
After boot, there is no /dev/lirc device node.
running 'lsmod | fgrep lirc' reveals
lirc_mceusb 14580 0
lirc_dev 12140 1 lirc_mceusb
