[Bug 157919] Re: appleir driver does not work with new macbook pro
Hi,
I've added the patch and built the linux-ubuntu-modules package - you
can download the packages from my PPA at: https://launchpad.net/~colin-
king/+archive
Add the following lines to your apt sources.list:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/colin-king/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/colin-king/ubuntu hardy main
alternatively, follow the instructions at: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04
/add-applications/C/extra-repositories-adding.html
If you can test this package and let me know if it works, then I can add
it as a fix to as a SRU.
Thanks, Colin

Bug description:
Binary package hint: linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-generic
The appleir driver does not work on the most recent MacBook Pro. The device is now under a new id:
Bus 005 Device 024: ID 05ac:8242 Apple Computer, Inc.
Device Descriptor:
bLength 18
bDescriptorType 1
bcdUSB 2.00
bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at Interface level)
bDeviceSubClass 0
bDeviceProtocol 0
bMaxPacketSize0 8
idVendor 0x05ac Apple Computer, Inc.
idProduct 0x8242
bcdDevice 0.16
iManufacturer 1 Apple Computer, Inc.
iProduct 2 IR Receiver
iSerial 0
bNumConfigurations 1
Compiling the module with USB_DEVICE_ID_APPLE_ID set to 0x8242 makes the module work, as long as it is loaded before usbhid.
