9 This is the "Juju" FireWire stack, a new alternative implementation
10 designed for robustness and simplicity. You can build either this
11 stack, or the classic stack (the ieee1394 driver, ohci1394 etc.)
12 or both. Please read http://wiki.linux1394.org/JujuMigration before
13 you enable the new stack.
15 To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the module will be
16 called firewire-core. It functionally replaces ieee1394, raw1394,
21 You should only build ONE of the stacks, unless you REALLY know what
25 tristate "Support for OHCI FireWire host controllers"
26 depends on PCI && FIREWIRE
28 Enable this driver if you have a FireWire controller based
29 on the OHCI specification. For all practical purposes, this
30 is the only chipset in use, so say Y here.
32 To compile this driver as a module, say M here: The module will be
33 called firewire-ohci. It replaces ohci1394 of the classic IEEE 1394
38 You should only build ohci1394 or firewire-ohci, but not both.
39 If you nevertheless want to install both, you should configure them
40 only as modules and blacklist the driver(s) which you don't want to
41 have auto-loaded. Add either
43 blacklist firewire-ohci
49 to /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modprobe.d/* and update modprobe.conf
50 depending on your distribution. The latter two modules should be
51 blacklisted together with ohci1394 because they depend on ohci1394.
53 If you have an old modprobe which doesn't implement the blacklist
54 directive, use "install modulename /bin/true" for the modules to be
58 tristate "Support for storage devices (SBP-2 protocol driver)"
59 depends on FIREWIRE && SCSI
61 This option enables you to use SBP-2 devices connected to a
62 FireWire bus. SBP-2 devices include storage devices like
63 harddisks and DVD drives, also some other FireWire devices
66 To compile this driver as a module, say M here: The module will be
67 called firewire-sbp2. It replaces sbp2 of the classic IEEE 1394
70 You should also enable support for disks, CD-ROMs, etc. in the SCSI
71 configuration section.
