The IguanaIR is a Serial- or USB-based IR Transceiver by Iguanaworks.
The vendor maintains a wiki documentation site.
The IguanaIR requires a specific driver (at least for USB model). LIRC must also have support for that driver compiled-in, as noted on the vendor support site.

Important Vendor notes on Compiling Source on Ubuntu/Deb
http://iguanaworks.net/downloads.php?distro=deb
Be sure to hold back LIRC from further package updates
REMEMBER to use apt or dkpg or wajig to "hold" back the several lirc related libs/packages to prevent them from being re-installed by your package manager (WITHOUT the IguanaIR support you just compiled in!):
You want your 'apt-get dist-upgrade' to report
The following packages have been kept back: liblircclient-dev liblircclient0 lirc lirc-modules-source
