   Infrared device not detected

   I've installed the IrDA drivers on my ThinkPad T43, and they appear to   
   be loaded and working OK.   
      
   However, they refuse to recognize my Android phone when I activate its   
   Infrared file transfer, even with the infrared port a few millimetres   
   away.  PMIRDA.EXE doesn't see it, the XCenter widget doesn't see it,   
   and querying via the IrDA REXX library doesn't see it.   
      
   Under Windows XP on the same ThinkPad, the phone is detected instantly   
   and infrared file transfer works.  Evidently there's something missing   
   from the equation under OS/2.   
      
   Anybody have any idea how to get this working?  Or are the OS/2 IrDA   
   drivers just not up to it?
