What I found:

1. device have 16KB eeprom
2. in windows in USB snooper logs I don't see big enough transfers
(firmware upload over USB)
3. in windows drivers I can't find anything which may look like firmware

So I suppose device load firmware from eeprom. So it's always in 'warm'
state.

I know lsusb command :-)

I already tried.

1. If I set coldid=productid and warmid=fakeid then
   device hangs badly - device disappears from usb device list and
system is unresponsive  for few minutes.

2. If I set coldid=fakeid and warmid=productid then
   in kernel log  I see some transfer errors.
   Later I will investigate this configuration deeper.


IMHO current linux drivers will not work with IR remote part because:
1) for IR remote windows drivers use interrupt transfers but linux
drivers  - pooling.
2) keycodes don't match to any linux driver
