[mythtv-users] mythbuntu 11.04 lirc mceusb module - how?

[Tim Draper]

oh no - i spoke too soon. looks like i got it working out of the box before
my TV card drivers were installed (which has it's own IR circuit), and must
interfer with the mythbuntu lirc config.
my previous fix was to install lirc 0.8.7 over the top once the tv card
drivers were installed, i tried that but no luck; this is down to the lack
of 'mceusb' module. however, it's also come to light that the mythbuntu
kernel does not have it, and it doesnt come in the lirc 0.9.0 tarball.

i'm now back on 10.10 which i know works, but if anyone has a solution, i
know others are experiencing the same issues from the last day of googling!

thanks for any help
