USB3, good thought. I had a physical keyboard installed in the USB2 
port, this guy in the USB3 port. Pulled the keyboard, swapped ports and 
rebooted. Alas no. Same results. No irw. No ir-keytable.

Typo in my previous posts. I mentioned by-name. What I meant was 
/dev/input/by-id. Pulling the keyboard caused the by-path string to 
change. So by-id is a better identifier to use.

No /sys/class/rc directory. Do you have one in your systems? Is there 
anyway to force it in Fedora?
