Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
Binary package hint: lirc

Lirc doesn't have an option for this Cyberlink remote (http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/6372024/Cyberlink-Remote-Control-+-USB-Receiver/Product.html) and I don't have the Knowledge to create a hardware.conf file for it so far the information i have is that:

1) It is made by the same company that make the old MCE remotes
2)support in windows is as good in Linux (rubbish...unless using a Cyberlink product)
3) some more information I could find on this remote which a appears to be made by a company called Jess-Link who then brand it for whoever (http://www.jpcco.com.tw/technology_info.aspx?productCategoryID=wireless&subCategoryID=2&productID=18)

If anyone can help with this then thanks! if you need more info I'm here (although I don't know if I can be of much use other than you giving me commands/tests to run on my PC with the thing connected...)

Thanks in advance!

PS: Almost forgot to mention that the four arrow keys and the ok button which they surround work out of the box with Ubuntu 8.10 and there is a picture of the remote below!
