of 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>
