Irda adapter not working

Hello,

I’m trying to have a “MosChip Semiconductor MS7780 4Mbps Fast IRDA Adapter” working under OpenSuse 11.1 but can’t find any help on this.

I found the driver but it won’t compile.

I also found an italian article describing what to do for Ubuntu but this doesn’t make sense for Suse.

Some output from my machine :

lsusb

dmesg

iwconfig
