I don't know, but I should have read your lsusb output more closely and
not just gone on what you were told the device was called at purchase
time.

If it's compatible with the Philips device, you won't need to. The lirc
distribution comes with an lircd.conf.mceusb file. Just rename that and
try it out.

The fact it's trying to use lirc_mceusb2 sounds hopeful. Have you added
anything to /etc/modprobe.conf to make it load lirc_mceusb2 or is it
doing that on its own?
