For me this only works on the 2.1 card.
I have a CI adapter with a built-in receiver instead of the
connector and this one never worked for me. But it was a pre-series
part directly from Fujitsu-Siemens. Maybe the IR never worked.
Somebody reported on this list that IR works for his 1.3 card with 
receiver connected to the CI adapter.

So, what's the problem?
I said before that currently you only get already evaluated RC5 codes
from the firmware/driver. You do not get pulse/space events from it.
Quoting from above, "this program simply makes no sense for your receiver".
