Michael,
    If that is the order of commands you are using, you missed lircd. In 
order for irw to see anything, the lirc daemon needs to be running.
in Fedora 10 you can run (as root)

service lircd start

There is another command you can try before loading lircd, to see if the 
driver is receiving any data

mode2

or from inside X

xmode2

Either program will show the raw information coming from the receiver.
On my home made serial IR receivers, it will even show random IR noise 
coming from outside or fluorescent lights in the room. The mp3anywhere 
receiver may not do that, since it is specific to that remote.
