If the Product ID for your transceiver is not listed in the output of the modinfo command then the lirc_mceusb2 driver will need to be re compiled with your transceivers Product ID included.

	~~This article needs extending~~ to ~~show how~~ to add ~~Vendor~~/Product ID's to the ~~lirc_mceusb2 driver~~		==== Adding your Receivers Product ID to the driver ====

			These instructions are just the basic steps needed to update the driver source and build the new binary. I am assuming that you know the basics of building from sources...so some steps may have been omitted because of this (please feel free to update this with more detail).

			You'll need to install subversion, lnux-source-2.6.22, build-essential, gcc and possibly some other packages too before you start. Do this now before continuing...

			Next grab the sources you need, including lirc sources from the svn;

			cd /usr/src <return>

			Grab a copy of the LinuxMCE-0710 lirc sources from the svn;

			svn co http://svn.linuxmce.org/svn/branches/LinuxMCE-0710/ubuntu/lirc-0.8.2+lmce <return>

			Now go to the directory that contains the lirc_mceusb2 sources;

			cd drivers/drivers/lirc_mceusb2 <return>

			You should see this when you ls;

			root@moon206:/usr/src/lirc-0.8.2+lmce/drivers/lirc_mceusb2# ls
			Makefile.am Makefile.in lirc_mceusb2.c

			Next we need to edit the lirc_mceusb2.c file and add the Product ID for your Tranceiver. I'm using the joe editor below but you can use any editor that suits you;

			joe lirc_mceusb2.c <return>

			Now you should have the lirc_mceusb2.c source file open on screen inside your text editor, search for, or scroll down until you see the lines below;

			static struct usb_device_id usb_remote_table [] = {
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_PHILIPS, 0x0815) }, /* Philips eHome Infrared Transciever */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_PHILIPS, 0x060c) }, /* Philips Infrared Transciever - HP branded */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_SMK, 0x031d) }, /* SMK/Toshiba G83C0004D410 */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_SMK, 0x0322) }, /* SMK eHome Infrared Transceiver (Sony VAIO) */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_TATUNG, 0x9150) }, /* Tatung eHome Infrared Transceiver */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_SHUTTLE, 0xc001) }, /* Shuttle eHome Infrared Transceiver */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_GATEWAY, 0x3009) }, /* Gateway eHome Infrared Transceiver */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_MITSUMI, 0x2501) }, /* Mitsumi */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_TOPSEED, 0x0001) }, /* Topseed eHome Infrared Transceiver */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_RICAVISION, 0x0010) }, /* Ricavision internal Infrared Transceiver */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_ITRON, 0x7002) }, /* Itron ione Libra Q-11 */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_FIC, 0x9242) }, /* FIC eHome Infrared Transceiver */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_LG, 0x9803) }, /* LG eHome Infrared Transceiver */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_MICROSOFT, 0x00a0) }, /* Microsoft MCE Infrared Transceiver */
			{ } /* Terminating entry */
			};

			Now we want to add a new Product ID for the manufacturer or 'VENDOR' of our Tranceiver. As an example lets assume we want to add support for the IR Tranceiver shipped with the new ASUS Eee Box 206 (the model with the ATI GPU). We already know the VENDOR is Philips for the ASUS's Transceiver and we also know that the new Product ID is '206c'. So we would insert a new line like the one below just below the last Philips entry;

			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_PHILIPS, 0x206c) }, /* Philips Infrared Transciever - ASUS EeeBox 206*/

			This would give us a modified source file that looks like below;

			static struct usb_device_id usb_remote_table [] = {
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_PHILIPS, 0x0815) }, /* Philips eHome Infrared Transciever */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_PHILIPS, 0x060c) }, /* Philips Infrared Transciever - HP branded */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_PHILIPS, 0x206c) }, /* Philips Infrared Transciever - ASUS EeeBox 206*/
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_SMK, 0x031d) }, /* SMK/Toshiba G83C0004D410 */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_SMK, 0x0322) }, /* SMK eHome Infrared Transceiver (Sony VAIO) */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_TATUNG, 0x9150) }, /* Tatung eHome Infrared Transceiver */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_SHUTTLE, 0xc001) }, /* Shuttle eHome Infrared Transceiver */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_GATEWAY, 0x3009) }, /* Gateway eHome Infrared Transceiver */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_MITSUMI, 0x2501) }, /* Mitsumi */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_TOPSEED, 0x0001) }, /* Topseed eHome Infrared Transceiver */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_RICAVISION, 0x0010) }, /* Ricavision internal Infrared Transceiver */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_ITRON, 0x7002) }, /* Itron ione Libra Q-11 */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_FIC, 0x9242) }, /* FIC eHome Infrared Transceiver */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_LG, 0x9803) }, /* LG eHome Infrared Transceiver */
			{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_MICROSOFT, 0x00a0) }, /* Microsoft MCE Infrared Transceiver */
			{ } /* Terminating entry */
			};

			Obviously your changes will reflect the Transceiver Product ID you want to add and therefore will have a different ID and the string between the "/* */" would describe your Transceiver. Now save the changes you have made...dont forget this ;-)

			Now you should follow the instructions for compiling Lirc (see the the INSTALL file in the main lirc directory for details)

			This article still needs extending...
