                              getting my ECS Liva working, I plugged in
                              an old Microsoft branded IR receiver and
                              it worked great with Fedora 21's mceusb
                              driver. When I moved the Liva to the TV
                              location I swapped in the
                              off-brand/generic IR receiver that had
                              been working for years with CentOS 6 and
                              the mceusb driver therein.<br>
                              <br>
                              Guess what? Nothing.<br>
                              <br>
                              So I swapped the old Microsoft receiver to
                              get things working. But why didn't the
                              other receiver work? I had also purchased
                              an inexpensive HP receiver and in a fit of
                              pique threw it in the trash when it didn't
                              work with the Liva. I think I was rash.<br>
                              <br>
                              Can anyone provide any guidance on getting
                              an off-brand receiver working with newer
                              kernels? I assume support for older
                              hardware has been removed. I recall the HP
                              receiver did load mceusb and identify it
                              as the usual "eHome receiver" I've always
                              seen. Just no output from irw.<br>
                              <br>
                              Can anyone point to USB IR receivers
                              available that work with current kernels?
                              Obviously the old Microsoft receivers are
                              long out of stock.<br>

    Okay. Not wild about ordering from China. What did they charge for
