Sorry to post again about this, but I seem to be at a dead end.

I'm now running Ubuntu Feisty (which is a Debian derivative).

Linux maclinux 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Thu Jun 7 20:19:32 UTC 2007 i686 
GNU/Linux.

This is 2.6.20, so it shouldn't have the bug Tino Keitel identified in 
2.6.21.

I'm excepting a /dev/usb/hiddev? for the IR receiver, but there is no 
/dev/usb or any hiddev* in the /dev/tree at all. There is a variety of 
/dev/usbdev* devices including

# ls -l /dev/usbdev4.3_ep00
crw-rw---- 1 root root 254, 16 2007-07-13 00:04 /dev/usbdev4.3_ep00

which corresponds to the hardware since

# cat /sys/class/usb_endpoint/usbdev4.3_ep00/device/manufacturer
Apple Computer, Inc.
# cat /sys/class/usb_endpoint/usbdev4.3_ep00/device/product
IR Receiver

It looks to me like the usb device is not hooked up through the hiddev 
driver. The hiddev driver itself is loaded

# dmesg |grep hiddev
[ 6.436000] usbcore: registered new interface driver hiddev

This is with the generic kernel (which does have hiddev enabled). I get 
the same results if I build the kernel with a .config that works for 
others. I don't think its a kernel config issue.

What am I missing? Is it a udev rule?
