lirc_gpio not in FC8 kernel ?

[Albert Graham]

It seems that link did not provide a solution as its based around the 
old lirc_gpio driver (no longer supported in Fedora), however, after 
digging a bit deeper I found that the undetected IR remote control is 
the same as an already supported one, but you will need to apply the 
following patch

I've submitted the above patch to the vidio4linux list so hopefully 
someone will pick it up and add it to the kernel soon.

Hope this is useful to someone :)
