[SLUG] IR transciever

I'm compiling a new kernel (2.6.18) for my laptop (Thinkpad T40), and one of
the selections is "< > IrDA (infrared) subsystem support --->". That's
cool; I'd like the ability to print from Linux even if I forget my USB
cable, as I can do in XP.

In that section, I see protocols (IrLAN, IrCOMM, and Ultra (connectionless)
), and low-level drivers, of which there are too many to transcribe. From
the blurbs, it seems IrCOMM is what I want (is that correct?), but how do I
figure out the correct driver? lspci shows nothing about IR.
