Hi Damiano,

Upgrade your install to ubuntu 10.10 (reboot required)

install lirc and lirc module sources

Download the CIR receiver driver and source code for Ubuntu 10.10 32/64
bit ver:1.1.0 (kernel 2.6.35-22) from
http://www.asrock.com/nettop/download.asp?Model=ION%20330HT&o=Linux

Follow the manual
http://www.asrock.com/nettop/download.asp?Model=ION%20330HT&o=Linux

When you install the driver you can a screen where u need to select a
receiver and sender for the remote. In the first two screen select none.
You see a lirc restart, after that select nuvoton at receiver screen and
none at the sender.

Hope its accurate enough. I did the upgrade and driver install last week
and it worked finally without any problems.

Not sure you use it for XBMC, a new version of XBMC can be added with
the repository: http://xbmc.org/theuni/2010/09/14/dharma-beta-2/ some
nice new features are in it.

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
