10 Say Y here if you want to build support for the IrTTY line
11 discipline. To compile it as a module, choose M here: the module
12 will be called irtty-sir. IrTTY makes it possible to use Linux's
13 own serial driver for all IrDA ports that are 16550 compatible.
14 Most IrDA chips are 16550 compatible so you should probably say Y
15 to this option. Using IrTTY will however limit the speed of the
16 connection to 115200 bps (IrDA SIR mode).
20 comment "Dongle support"
23 bool "Serial dongle support"
26 Say Y here if you have an infrared device that connects to your
27 computer's serial port. These devices are called dongles. Then say Y
28 or M to the driver for your particular dongle below.
30 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
31 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
32 the questions about serial dongles.

139 tristate "IrPORT (IrDA serial driver)"
140 depends on IRDA && BROKEN_ON_SMP
142 Say Y here if you want to build support for the IrPORT IrDA device
143 driver. To compile it as a module, choose M here: the module will be
144 called irport. IrPORT can be used instead of IrTTY and sometimes
145 this can be better. One example is if your IrDA port does not
146 have echo-canceling, which will work OK with IrPORT since this
147 driver is working in half-duplex mode only. You don't need to use
148 irattach with IrPORT, but you just insert it the same way as FIR
149 drivers (insmod irport io=0x3e8 irq=11). Notice that IrPORT is a
150 SIR device driver which means that speed is limited to 115200 bps.

281 depends on IRDA && USB
283 Say Y here if you want to build support for the USB IrDA FIR Dongle
284 device driver. To compile it as a module, choose M here: the module
285 will be called irda-usb. IrDA-USB support the various IrDA USB
286 dongles available and most of their peculiarities. Those dongles
287 plug in the USB port of your computer, are plug and play, and
288 support SIR and FIR (4Mbps) speeds. On the other hand, those
289 dongles tend to be less efficient than a FIR chipset.
291 Please note that the driver is still experimental. And of course,
292 you will need both USB and IrDA support in your kernel...

359 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && IRDA && ISA_DMA_API
361 Say Y here if you want to build support for the ALi M5123 FIR
362 Controller. The ALi M5123 FIR Controller is embedded in ALi M1543C,

389 Say Y here if you want to build support for the VIA VT8231
390 and VIA VT1211 IrDA controllers, found on the motherboards using
391 those VIA chipsets. To use this controller, you will need
392 to plug a specific 5 pins FIR IrDA dongle in the specific
393 motherboard connector. The driver provides support for SIR, MIR
394 and FIR (4Mbps) speeds.
396 You will need to specify the 'dongle_id' module parameter to

404 depends on ARCH_PXA && IRDA
406 Say Y or M here if you want to build support for the PXA2xx
407 built-in IRDA interface which can support both SIR and FIR.
408 This driver relies on platform specific helper routines so
409 available capabilities may vary from one PXA2xx target to
