Thank you for this solid information. Just what I was afraid of. :(
I need to look in to those suggestions of yours.
Once again, thank you a lot. Now I can stop wasting my
time with that module and lirc.

an USB-serial adapter. These receivers just pass IR pulses to a
serial control pin (e.g., DCD) and rely on the lirc_serial driver to
receive all signal transitions with precise timing (in microseconds);
this won't work over USB. So you need to find an USB IR receiver
which is supported by LIRC.
Another option is to get a PCI (or PCI-Express) serial port card - it
might work with lirc_serial, if it is compatible with 16550 and uses
IO port mapping (some of these devices are using memory-mapped
registers - they won't work without code changes in lirc_serial).
However, such configuration is not supported by lirc_serial directly
(in particular, lirc_serial wants to get IO port address in its module
parameters, and addresses for PCI devices are dynamic and may change
between boots).

I have a CableStar 2 PCI DVB-C card with remote module.
When I attach the remote module (IR-receiver) to my
serial port it works OK with VDR using lirc.
I bought an usb2serial converter (FT232BM based) and
can't get my remote working with lirc at all. :(
