Following the documentation on
http://www.lirc.org/html/install.html#testing , you should first test
the remote with mode2.  After that is confirmed to work, copy the
configuration file for your remote (in your case
remotes/mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb under the source tree)
to /etc/lircd.conf

modprobe lirc_mceusb2 and lirc_dev (if it doesn't autoload), and you
should be able to start lircd (make sure you use the -d <device> to
point to the correct device node).  irw should now work.

That driver and config file should work with that usbid; I have the
same remote.
