Damn! I had such high hopes....

This didn't work. I just recompiled lirc from CVS, and my blaster still
does not work. I am sure of:

1) I am running the correct version of lircd
2) I am running the correct version of the lirc_mceusb module
3) I am running the correct version of irw/irsend
4) irw works (so the receiver works)
5) irsend reports no errors
6) The blaster does not work (no visible flash, no flash on the receiver
when irsend is run with the blaster held in front of it)

Anything I can do to debug this and figure out what else I may have done
wrong?

If it matters, this system is still at Fedora 10. Could the kernel be
too old for this new module? (Probably not since it loads fine, but I am
grasping at straws now).
