IRDA-USB problem

[haneo]

I have an IRDA receiver it work fine under windows,
But I have problem with Linux.
When plugging the device i see in /var/log/messages:

Mar 22 13:01:25 ITOperation kernel: usb 4-2: new low speed USB device using address 3
Mar 22 13:01:28 ITOperation pam_timestamp_check: pam_timestamp: `/var/' permissions are lax
Mar 22 13:01:30 ITOperation kernel: usb 4-2: control timeout on ep0in



Any idea how to configure it ?

Thanks
