You need that kmdl file as well.

Looking at the atrpms site, this looks as if it's the one you need.

lirc-kmdl-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4-0.7.2-49.rhfc4.at.i686.rpm

Not sure why yum couldn't find it though.  You need to make sure the
kernel version matches (which it does) also that the architecture
matches your kernel (you don't want smp if you haven't got multiple
processors or _64 if you havent' got 64 bit).  I'm not quite sure
about the subtleties of i586 and i686.

If you think the above file is correct, you could try downloading it
directly and installing it using rpm.

go to the directory you downloaded the file to and type:

#rpm -uvh lirc-kmdl-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4-0.7.2-49.rhfc4.at.i686.rpm

Hope this helps.  Kernel modules are the only bit of the atrpms site
that I still have trouble with.
