I have not been able to wake my PC with the FLIRC and remote either while a wireless keyboard with usb dongle works fine to wake it up. Also v2.1.1 seems to fix the disconnected state of the FLIRC some of the time.... but I still wind up with the FLIRC disconnected some of the time and have to unplug and replug it in. Also advanced options are greyed out in v2.1.1.
