I was having a lot of issues with getting a Windows MCE IR receiver working. In the past is was automatically install once you selected the mceusb2 Receiver from admin site but since 704 I could not get it install I kept getting lirc_mceusb2 module not found.
It turns out that I had to manually do a depmod -ae then modprobed lirc_mceusb2 and finally it started working.
I am not sure exactly why I had to do that, but I did and it worked.
Thanks,

If you have to do that after every reboot, you can add the name of the module to the "/etc/modules" file so that it will be loaded during boot.
I do not suspect that will be the case, as it appears to be an issue where the installed packages did not update the modules. I found that the modules where loaded the entire time, but that depmod -ae needed to be run so that Kubuntu was aware of the modules. I have everything working pretty well right now, so I am going to hold off on rebooting until I need, but I will keep posting if there is any problems
Survived reboot without any need for command line magic. I am getting ready to add a second MD, so I will report as to it's success as it will be using the Windows MCE IR receiver. Now I just need to get the IR Blaster working with LinuxMCE. I have it configured to change channels with Mythtv via an external script, but I have no idea where to begin with LinuxMCE with regards to adding new Blaster Support. It would be nice as it has two transmitters. Anyway, I am getting off topic
Thanks,
