RHEL6.1 and newer already have the driver included in the distro kernel. For everyone else:

Mceusb (all) was selected at lirc setup. I am running a FE/BE dedicated machine with a dual core AMD Athlon II 2.5 Ghz CPU, Nvidia 6200 chipset, dedicated Nvidia GT220 HDMI 1 GB graphics card, 2GB RAM, Dual SATA HD, 1 160 GB, 1 TB drive, smaller drive for OS, database, and video storage partition and the larger drive solely for video storage. The tuner card is a Hauppage HVR-2250 (dual HD/ATSC tuner.) This box runs Mythbuntu 10.04 (32-bit) with 0.24-fixes all updated including lirc-0.8.6. lsusb shows: Bus 002 Device 004: ID 1934:5168 where research indicates that 1934 is the vendor ID for: FINTEK. Checking the source this device does not show up in lirc_mceusb.c So I added this deivce to lirc_mceusb.c by added the following lines: /* Fintek HP Branded USB receiver */ { USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_FINTEK, 0x5168) }, was added to section: static struct usb_device_id mceusb_dev_table[] = { and { USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_FINTEK, 0x5168) }, was added to section static struct usb_device_id transmitter_mask_list[] = { once I got those additions made I did a sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source followed by a reboot and then the device worked! This bug report is my attempt to get this upstream to lirc and mythbuntu so this device might work OOTB for others. Attached is the revised lirc_mceusb.c along with a photo of the HP branded remote infrared usb receiver. I hope that this is helpful.
