Add new receiver (If Possible)

[Wayne R. <wa...@no...>]

Good day,

A while ago I got a new mceusb2 remote that was unsupported by lirc I eventually got the thing working and tested on Mandriva & Ubuntu the device details are as follows

2.6.27-desktop-0.rc8.2mnb

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0471:0608 Philips

I added the following lines to the lirc_mceusb2.c file in the drivers/lirc_mceusb2 folder

...snip...
/* Philips Infrared Transceiver - Sahara branded */
{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_PHILIPS, 0x0608) },
...snip...

removed dkms modules
rebuilt and reinstalled dkms modules
modprobe lirc_mceusb2

ran irw and got ir commands back:

[root@localhost lirc_mceusb2]# irw
