Why doesn't dmesg tell me my Nova-TD USB has an IR receiver?

I've been pretty successful in getting the stable drivers to run my Hauppauge Nova-TD USB stick. The build is a minimal boot-from-flash/PXE Gentoo MythTV image that I have brewed up myself, running on a VIA Epia SP motherboard.

Kernel is 2.6.25-r7.

I've got both tuners working well simultaneously. The only thing is that dmesg is not reporting the presence of any sort of IR receiver. The unit came in a retail box with a remote control.

What dependencies does the IR receiver element of the Hauppauge stick have on the kernel? All my web searches for problems with IR from this card always start with dmesg saying:

[...]
input: IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver as /class/input/... [...]

This is exactly what I'm not getting.

Answered my own question and it is an omission of the rc_key_map in the driver code. Time to call the developers.
