A bit more than two weeks ago now, actually. Greg Oliver was kind
enough to send me a topseed 0x0008 he had (aka the same AVS Gear
GP-IR02BK kit the other Greg linked to), and I was able to figure out
the necessary changes for lirc_mceusb to enable its transmitters, and
that code was just committed back on March 18 in my git tree, and
shortly thereafter to lirc cvs. The IR emitters in the kit Greg sent
me don't light up either.
