[irda-users] irda half duplex

[Thomas C. <tc...@on...>]

excuse some basic question... trying to build a irda transceiver in front
of a normal uart...

questions i have are:

irda is supposed to be half duplex.... right?

so where is it in the driver / protocol stack in linux that turns OFF the
transmitter ???  

and how to avoid collision, ie if both side are sending at the same time?

and how does one sync up and know the speed of the other end????

thanks

tom
