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.
