If anyone else noticed that support for that type of remote got broken sometime after 2.6.32, I'm pleased to report mine is working again since I upgraded to kernel 3.0.
I've got one of those that has worked fine in 2.6.32 up to 2.6.39.3... It's connected with a serial IR. Maybe support for your particular IR receiver broke, but that remote has been just fine.
Mine is connected via the DVB card. It says saa7146 in /proc/bus/input/devices but ISTR it's actually the budget or budget_ci module that handles it. It used to require a patch a few years ago and I think the patch was for the key mappings.
Ahh, gotcha. Mine came with a nexus-s, which uses av7110_ir. I saw the remote and automatically associated it with the nexus.
