I want to use my infrared port on my laptop but I have no idea what sort of IrDA device I have, nor the kernel options that I need to enable.

How can I figure out which drivers to compile in?

Ok, first you should read this howto... it provides any information you need to start with infrared on linux.

http://www.tuxmobil.org/Infrared-HOWTO/Infrared-HOWTO.html

As for me, i've compiled following options as modules in my kernel:

Code:
<M> IrDA subsystem support

and
Code:
<M> IrCOMM protocol


there's an extra menu point for Infrared in the kernel menu, so you should easily find those options.
