As late a Sep 2006, this person is telling us that the kernel needs patching

http://wbond.net/remote_wonder_plus_linux/ .  He explains why.

 

Another hint is contained in the lircd.conf files provided by lirc.org.
Only the versions I and II are supported.

 

So, I'm going for option #4:  Purchase a surplus Remote Wonder II on eBay!

Laptop IR options- I am running the MCE remote control option, but may swap
to IR keyboard emulation. 

1) Serial IR receiver- build it yourself or buy one ready made (quite an
easy thing to build if you can use a soldering iron). 
2) Microsoft MCE remote control and USB receiver- pretty easy to set up,
works OK once you put the "responsiveness patch" onto the mceusb2 driver. 
3) Buy an IR keyboard with USB IR receiver dongle, and train a remote
control to emit signals that emulate keypresses.  Search the web for JP1
remote controls, there are downloadable protocols that have keyboard codes
(PC to One-for-all JP1 remote control transfer requires build/buy a serial
or parallel or USB "JP1 cable"). 

Good luck!
