Linux-IrDA Project

Welcome to the Linux-IrDA project. The overall goal of this project is to make an implementation of the IrDA^TM standards specifications for the Linux kernel. The code is licensed under the GNU Public licence (GPL) and is now included in Linux 2.2.x and 2.4.x kernel series.

IrDA^TM (Infrared Data Association) is an industry standard for infrared wireless communication. Most laptops sold today are equipped with an IrDA compliant infrared transceiver, which enables you to communicate with devices such as printers, modems, fax, LAN, and other laptops. Speeds range from 2400bps-4Mbps.
