8 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
11 This is the "Juju" FireWire stack, a new alternative implementation
12 designed for robustness and simplicity. You can build either this
13 stack, or the classic stack (the ieee1394 driver, ohci1394 etc.)
16 To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the module will be
17 called firewire-core. It functionally replaces ieee1394, raw1394,
22 You should only build ONE of the stacks, unless you REALLY know what
23 you are doing. If you install both, you should configure them only as
24 modules rather than link them statically, and you should blacklist one
25 of the concurrent low-level drivers in /etc/modprobe.conf. Add either
27 blacklist firewire-ohci
31 there depending on which driver you DON'T want to have auto-loaded.
32 You can optionally do the same with the other IEEE 1394/ FireWire
35 If you have an old modprobe which doesn't implement the blacklist
38 install firewire-ohci /bin/true
40 install ohci1394 /bin/true
42 and so on, depending on which modules you DON't want to have
46 tristate "Support for OHCI FireWire host controllers"
47 depends on PCI && FIREWIRE
49 Enable this driver if you have a FireWire controller based
50 on the OHCI specification. For all practical purposes, this
51 is the only chipset in use, so say Y here.
53 To compile this driver as a module, say M here: The module will be
54 called firewire-ohci. It replaces ohci1394 of the classic IEEE 1394
59 If you also build ohci1394 of the classic stack, blacklist either
60 ohci1394 or firewire-ohci to let hotplug load only the desired driver.
63 tristate "Support for storage devices (SBP-2 protocol driver)"
64 depends on FIREWIRE && SCSI
66 This option enables you to use SBP-2 devices connected to a
67 FireWire bus. SBP-2 devices include storage devices like
68 harddisks and DVD drives, also some other FireWire devices
71 To compile this driver as a module, say M here: The module will be
72 called firewire-sbp2. It replaces sbp2 of the classic IEEE 1394
75 You should also enable support for disks, CD-ROMs, etc. in the SCSI
76 configuration section.
80 If you also build sbp2 of the classic stack, blacklist either sbp2
81 or firewire-sbp2 to let hotplug load only the desired driver.
