Perhaps this is a good place/opportunity to ask this question.  I'm
using an mceusb IR receiver/remote on a dedicated mythfrontend machine.
 To make it more appliance-like with faster powerup I suspend instead of
powering off.

I haven't been able to wake-on-USB with any kernel after the 2.6.32
series.  I'm currently running 2.6.32-gentoo-r27, and it and every
kernel before that properly does wake-on-USB.  No kernel beginning with
2.6.33 does, and that includes testing 2.6.38 this afternoon.  It also
includes both Gentoo and vanilla kernels.

I ask here because you're about to remove the lirc drivers that I'm
using, and I haven't been able to get myself up to 2.6.36 yet, though
I'd really like to.  I recognize that this issue is not core to lirc,
though in the lirc community people may be more aware of this kind of
problem and how to fix it.

Everything in userspace remains unchanged between the various kernels,
and when I build 2.6.33+ kernels I start with my 2.6.32 config and tweak
the new stuff, but the old stuff is still essentially there.

One note...  My mceusb IR receiver has an LED that blinks when it
receives a signal.  When the system is suspended and I press the power
button, that LED comes on solid until the system has wakened.  When
suspended with a 2.6.33+ kernel the LED doesn't come on, doesn't even
blink when the power button is pressed.  I can wake the system with the
front-panel power button, in any case.

Thanks for any pointers,
