[mythtv-users] lirc_serial woes

I was hoping people here could help me.
I am having trouble getting my homebrew IR receiver working. I'm
running Fedora Core 2, with kernel 2.6.9.
The receiver I'm using is this one: http://lnx.manoweb.com/lirc/
I tried following the directions on the IR receiver's webpage, but I'm
having no luck.
Since I've followed Jarod's guide for my mythtv setup, I already have
lirc installed (and running). However, I think it is configured wrong.
I tried running mode2, to view that the buttons on the remote were
getting through, but I get the following:
This program is only intended for receivers supporting the pulse/space
layer.
Note that this is no error, but this program simply makes no sense for
your
receiver.
In order to test your setup run lircd with the --nodaemon option and
then check if the remote works with the irw tool.
I think the issue is that I don't have the lirc_serial module loaded.
When I run: /sbin/modprobe lirc_serial, I get
FATAL: Module lirc_serial not found.
Sorry if this seems really basic, but modules / drivers etc is always
the part of linux that I have never figured out.
Do I need to recompile lirc to get the lirc_serial module available to
me? I did download the latest version of lirc and ran the ./setup
program, chose the corresponding serial port / interrupt. Then I chose
the "save configuration and run configure", however I then get the
error that I don't have the kernel source install.
I did an apt-get source kernel and I got a
"kernel-2.6.9-1.6_FC2.src.rpm" file at the root of my disk. Running the
./setup again still says I don't have the source installed.
I'm totally confused. Any help would be appreciated.
