It is NOT the MCE edition.  The IR receiver plugs into a jack in the
back of the card.  I have been using 'hauppauge' as the driver, as
expected for this edition, but I tried mceusb2 just for kicks.

I'm seeing posts on the lirc list where other people have got problems
when they upgraded to linux 2.6.17, lirc 0.80.0 and ivtv 0.7.0, so maybe
it's just broken software at the moment...
