I have downloaded the driver on
http://www.asrock.com/Nettop/download.asp?Model=ION%20330HT&o=Linux  and
installed it without problems on Ubuntu 10.04.

Linux XBMC 2.6.32-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 28 13:27:30 UTC 2010
i686 GNU/Linux

Package: lirc-nct677x

Description: infra-red remote control support for nuvoton nct6775 / w836x7 - kernel module source
LIRC stands for 'Linux Infra-red Remote Control'.
.
This package provides the source for the kernel modules to support
infra-red remote controls under Linux.

I had tried the same a few days back and it didn't work... so most
likely the driver got updated in the meantime.

After applying the lirc_dev-2.6.33.patch, the 3d party driver for the Nuvoton 677x is no longer loadable. It compiles fine, but complains about incorrect version upon modprobe:

[ 5870.433827] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61 
[ 5870.436038] lirc_wb677: disagrees about version of symbol lirc_register_driver
[ 5870.436038] lirc_wb677: Unknown symbol lirc_register_driver

After removing the above mentioned patch to lirc, both compilation and modprobe works fine:
[ 7700.230465] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61 
[ 7700.234243] lirc_wb677 w677hga: chip id high: 0xff expect:0xb4
