[mythtvnz] MCEUSB IR Blaster problem after upgrade to Mythbuntu 11.04 and Kernel

[Worik Stanton]

I have been extremely dissatisfied with Ubuntu 11.04.  I have to use it 
for my new laptop for the drivers, but I do not use it for my MythTV box 
(I use whatever the last one was, MythBuntu 10.10 I think).  Canonical 
is going in unfortunate directions, IMO.

Sorry to be unhelpful.  But if you can, use 10.10

cheers
