I'm not sure what you mean by a 'module for this cd recorder'. I have
a Mitsumi CR4802-TE on my Slackware linux system and it works without
problems both as a CDROM drive and as a CD-RW drive.

As a CDROM drive, it uses the standard IDE interface drivers (a la
/dev/hda), but if you follow the documentation in the "CD Writing
HOWTO" (available at the Linux Documentation Project at
http://www.linuxdoc.org/) and the readme files that come with
cdrecord, it will work in SCSI emulation mode to record CDRs and
CDRWs.

BTW: There has been at least one firmware upgrade released for the
CR4802-TE. Although performance was good prior to the firmware
upgrade, I found that when I applied the upgrade, cdrecord complained
less about the drive. YMMV, but you might want to take a look to see
if your CR4802-TE qualifies for the firmware upgrade. Check Mitsumi's
website for details.

Further to this, here's what I see on my system....

The last bit of cdparanoia's output is because there is no audio CD in
the drive at the moment :-)
