Antec Veris Basic and LIRC

[<ke...@ev...>]

Hello,
   I am trying to build a Myth-TV box using "MythDora 10".  I have
everything working except the IR remote control.  I am a moderate Linux
user and this has been making me learn new things!

   For the IR receiver I purchased an Antec "Veris Basic"
(http://www.antec.com/usa/productDetails.php?lan=us&id=30124) which is
not listed on lirc.org.  (Had I known that in advance I might not have
bought it, but this is my first stab at this project!)  This device has
a USB interface.

This is the report from "usbtree"...
/: Bus 04.Port 1: Dev 1,Class=root_hub, Drv=ohci_hcd/6p, 12M
    |_ Port 4: Dev 4, If 0,Prod=USB Receiver, Class=HID, Drv=usbhid, 1.5M
    |_ Port 4: Dev 4, If 1,Prod=, Class=HID, Drv=usbhid, 1.5M
/: Bus 03.Port 1: Dev 1,Class=root_hub, Drv=ohci_hcd/6p, 12M
    |_ Port 5: Dev 3, If 0,Prod=, Class=HID, Drv=usbhid, 1.5M
    |_ Port 5: Dev 3, If 1,Prod=, Class=HID, Drv=usbhid, 1.5M
/: Bus 02.Port 1: Dev 1,Class=root_hub, Drv=ehci_hcd/6p, 480M
/: Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1,Class=root_hub, Drv=ehci_hcd/6p, 480M

My testing showed that the "USB Receiver" on Bus 4 is my Logitech USB
keyboard/Mouse (which works fine) and that the items on Bus 3 are the
Veris IR receiver.

According to "lsmod" the following lirc modules are loaded...
         lirc_imon              23432  0
         lirc_dev               20408  1 lirc_imon

I also have the daemon "lircd" running.

There is no "/dev/lirc" but there is a "/dev/lircd"

When I run "irw" I get nothing.

Does anybody know what the correct configuration is for this receiver is? 
Or if there even *IS* a correct setup?

At this point I'm kind of stuck and not sure what to do or test next.  I
think that the lirc "device driver" is not seeing the hardware and
therefore not creating the "/dev/lirc".

Thanks in advance,
Ken
