Inspiron 600m and IR port

Hi,

Wanting to connect my mobile phone to my Inspiron 600m I've realised that I
do not have an IR port driver installed (unless it is subsumed in the
02Micro Smartcard reader, which I think is just the PCMCIA port).

There doesn't appear to be a driver on Dell's website and there doesn't
appear to be a standard Windows XP driver if you just manually add hardware
(the Microsoft IR over Serial just locked up my machine when I tried it, so
I guess that's not it).

Any ideas what I should be using? I don't have the Bluetooth, maybe there
are part of the same piece of hardware?

Thanks

OK, I'm an idiot. IR was disabled in the BIOS. Sorry about that.
