I don't see the problem, it's loading just fine. Your issue is likely with whatever software you're trying to interface the remote with, not with the remote actually being detected.

Well, lirc daemon doesn't find the driver and can therefore not find the remote and start just like the original poster.

I have read that page several times but I can't even get the daemon to start.
I have tried starting the daemon with several options but nothing is working. I have tried
/dev/lirc0
/dev/lirc
/dev/input/by-id/usb-Philips_eHome_Infrared_Transceiver_PH00PsUD-event-if00
/dev/input/event0

but everytime it says
'lircd: there's no hardware I can use and no peers are specified'

If I start the daemon with driver options for 'mceusb' it just says
Driver `mceusb' not supported.
Supported drivers:
null

The receiver is being detected by the OS perfectly as you were saying but the problem is that lirc daemon refuses to start because it can't find the receiver. Perhaps I should post in another section?

I have now solved this!

The package in the repository is compiled with "--with-driver=none" and I changed this to "--with-driver=userspace" and recompiled and everything is now working! You might want to update this in the repository.

The new lirc package in the repo is built with --with-driver=userspace. This should help out people across the board, thanks for pointing out the option.

I take the blame for suggesting "--with-driver=none" be used
