I'm using a grey MCE remote that came with my Hauppauge 500. It worked great 
before the upgrade and all my prior config files are still in place. When I 
try to use it with irw or any myth program, I record this in 
var/log/messages:

and lircd appears to be killed.

In /etc/modprobe.conf I have:

# IR for MCE USB remote
alias char-major-61 lirc_mceusb2
install lirc_mceusb2 /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install
   lirc_mceusb2

My IVTV is:  ivtv-kmdl-2.6.22.4-65.fc7-1.0.2-134.fc7

While my lirc is:  lirc-kmdl-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7-0.8.2-68.fc7

So my lirc-kmdl doesn't match my kernel, and there is no newer one available.

Is there a newer lirc-kmdl on the way soon?
