on plugging in the receiver I get:

Dec  9 20:18:56 gypsy kernel: lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver 
registered, at major 61
Dec  9 20:18:56 gypsy kernel: lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin:sample_rate: 80

Dec  9 20:18:56 gypsy kernel: 
/root/drivers/lirc/drivers/lirc_mceusb/lirc_mceusb.c: USB Microsoft IR 
Transceiver Driver v0.2

In dmesg I see:
usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using address 5
usb 3-1: device not accepting address 5, error -71
usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using address 6
floppy0: no floppy controllers found

usbcore: registered new driver lirc_mceusb
/root/drivers/lirc/drivers/lirc_mceusb/lirc_mceusb.c: USB Microsoft IR 
Transceiver Driver v0.2

If I modprobe with debug=1 I get:

/root/drivers/lirc/drivers/lirc_mceusb/lirc_mceusb.c: we found a bulk 
out endpoint
/root/drivers/lirc/drivers/lirc_mceusb/lirc_mceusb.c: we found a bulk in

usbcore: registered new driver lirc_mceusb
/root/drivers/lirc/drivers/lirc_mceusb/lirc_mceusb.c: USB Microsoft IR 
Transceiver Driver v0.2

I also see occasional 'bulk timeout on ep1in' messages.

Note - my remote is a generic philips usb/mce:  Bus 003 Device 006: ID 
0471:0815 Philips
45e/6d are the vendor/product ID's hardcoded in the driver --- do you 
have a part number
for you remote?

Note - I've tried this on FC2 (2.6.9-1.6_FC2smp) and FC3 
(2.6.9-1.681_FC3.stk16) with
both lirc 0.7.0 and latest cvs (0.7.1) with the same results.
