lirc packages have udev support, so when you modprobe lirc the devices
get automatically created.

That's the difference FC3 -> FC5: On FC3 the device nodes where there
and accessing them auto-modprobed lirc. Now it's the other way
around. modprobing lirc creates the nodes. It sounds similar to the
perpertual chicken-and-egg problem :)

Anyway modprobing on FC5 should be enough.
