I've got one 2116 and one 2117 myself.

Nope.

I don't think it'll work with an RC-5 code (but I could be mistaken), so you 
may have to find a different code to start from. Oh, and RC-5 is actually the 
less-common of the two major IR protocols; it just happens to be the one used 
by the most popular capture cards for MythTV. ;-)

Now that I think about it, I don't see why the little IR dongle would give a 
damn what the actual IR protocol is, it just collects pulses and hands them 
off to lircd, if I'm thinking clearly (probably not). So I'd try the RC-5 
codes first. Use the lirc_gpio kernel module with that card, then start with 
my custom lircd.conf and lircrc, and perhaps its all gravy...

And so you don't have to search for it: http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/remotes.php
