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.

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

295 plug in the USB port of your computer, are plug and play, and
296 support SIR and FIR (4Mbps) speeds. On the other hand, those
297 dongles tend to be less efficient than a FIR chipset.
299 Please note that the driver is still experimental. And of course,
300 you will need both USB and IrDA support in your kernel...
