Hello Fabrice, I have same device on same OS.

I am not expert on Linux, maybe someone on the list knows better how
to get it working. This is my way:

1. Install sources: (select “mceusb2”)

apt-get install lirc-modules-source

2. Reconfigure:

dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source

3. Create module:

m-a prepare
m-a a-i lirc

4. Load module:

modprobe lirc_mceusb2

5. Configure hardware:

LIRCD_ARGS=""
#START_LIRCMD=false
#START_IREXEC=false
LOAD_MODULES=true
DRIVER="default"
DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_mceusb2"
LIRCD_CONF="/etc/lirc/lircd.conf"
LIRCMD_CONF=""

Good luck!
