The overall goal of this project is to make an implementation of the IrDATM standards specifications for the Linux kernel.
IrDATM (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.
