I've got a similar device.
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0419:0001 Samsung Info. Systems America, Inc. IrDA Remote Controller
The wDescriptorLength for it is 171. After patching my kernel with this patch http://launchpadlibrarian.net/25472216/samsung203b-2.6.29.patch the device works fine, except of two keys: Volume Up and Volume Down. When pressing any of these 2 keys, they stuck with the code of Volume Down key (I was investigating it with the showkey command).
Then i applied this patch http://launchpadlibrarian.net/22301251/hid-core.patch This fixed key stuck, but another problem rose: now only the Volume Up key works. Volume down does not at all, at least
# cat /dev/hidraw*
does not show anything when pressing Volume Down.
As I mentioned, the device has a descriptor 171, which is something new (it is not listed in the patch http://launchpadlibrarian.net/25472216/samsung203b-2.6.29.patch, though it works when applying it).
I'm eager to help if any additional info is needed.
