9 Say Y here to get to see options for device drivers from various
10 different categories. This option alone does not add any kernel code.
12 If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and disabled.
17 tristate "Device driver for IBM RSA service processor"
18 depends on X86 && PCI && INPUT && EXPERIMENTAL
20 This option enables device driver support for in-band access to the
21 IBM RSA (Condor) service processor in eServer xSeries systems.
22 The ibmasm device driver allows user space application to access
23 ASM (Advanced Systems Management) functions on the service
24 processor. The driver is meant to be used in conjunction with
26 The ibmasm driver also enables the OS to use the UART on the
27 service processor board as a regular serial port. To make use of
28 this feature serial driver support (CONFIG_SERIAL_8250) must be

47 tristate "EEPROM 93CX6 support"
49 This is a driver for the EEPROM chipsets 93c46 and 93c66.
50 The driver supports both read as well as write commands.
55 tristate "SGI IOC4 Base IO support"
58 This option enables basic support for the IOC4 chip on certain
59 SGI IO controller cards (IO9, IO10, and PCI-RT). This option
60 does not enable any specific functions on such a card, but provides
61 necessary infrastructure for other drivers to utilize.
63 If you have an SGI Altix with an IOC4-based card say Y.
67 tristate "TI Flash Media interface support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
68 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PCI
70 If you want support for Texas Instruments(R) Flash Media adapters
71 you should select this option and then also choose an appropriate
72 host adapter, such as 'TI Flash Media PCI74xx/PCI76xx host adapter
73 support', if you have a TI PCI74xx compatible card reader, for
75 You will also have to select some flash card format drivers. MMC/SD
76 cards are supported via 'MMC/SD Card support: TI Flash Media MMC/SD
77 Interface support (MMC_TIFM_SD)'.

83 tristate "TI Flash Media PCI74xx/PCI76xx host adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
84 depends on PCI && TIFM_CORE && EXPERIMENTAL
87 This option enables support for Texas Instruments(R) PCI74xx and
88 PCI76xx families of Flash Media adapters, found in many laptops.
89 To make actual use of the device, you will have to select some
90 flash card format drivers, as outlined in the TIFM_CORE Help.

96 tristate "Asus Laptop Extras (EXPERIMENTAL)"
99 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && !ACPI_ASUS
100 depends on LEDS_CLASS
101 depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
103 This is the new Linux driver for Asus laptops. It may also support some
104 MEDION, JVC or VICTOR laptops. It makes all the extra buttons generate
105 standard ACPI events that go through /proc/acpi/events. It also adds
106 support for video output switching, LCD backlight control, Bluetooth and
107 Wlan control, and most importantly, allows you to blink those fancy LEDs.
109 For more information and a userspace daemon for handling the extra
110 buttons see <http://acpi4asus.sf.net/>.
112 If you have an ACPI-compatible ASUS laptop, say Y or M here.
115 tristate "MSI Laptop Extras"
118 depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
120 This is a driver for laptops built by MSI (MICRO-STAR
123 MSI MegaBook S270 (MS-1013)
124 Cytron/TCM/Medion/Tchibo MD96100/SAM2000
126 It adds support for Bluetooth, WLAN and LCD brightness control.
128 More information about this driver is available at
129 <http://0pointer.de/lennart/tchibo.html>.
131 If you have an MSI S270 laptop, say Y or M here.
134 tristate "Sony Laptop Extras"
135 depends on X86 && ACPI
136 select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
138 This mini-driver drives the SNC and SPIC devices present in the ACPI
139 BIOS of the Sony Vaio laptops.
141 It gives access to some extra laptop functionalities like Bluetooth,
142 screen brightness control, Fn keys and allows powering on/off some
145 Read <file:Documentation/sony-laptop.txt> for more information.
148 bool "Sonypi compatibility"
149 depends on SONY_LAPTOP
151 Build the sonypi driver compatibility code into the sony-laptop driver.
154 tristate "ThinkPad ACPI Laptop Extras"
155 depends on X86 && ACPI
156 select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
160 This is a driver for the IBM and Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. It adds
161 support for Fn-Fx key combinations, Bluetooth control, video
162 output switching, ThinkLight control, UltraBay eject and more.
163 For more information about this driver see
164 <file:Documentation/thinkpad-acpi.txt> and <http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/> .
166 This driver was formely known as ibm-acpi.
168 If you have an IBM or Lenovo ThinkPad laptop, say Y or M here.
170 config THINKPAD_ACPI_DEBUG
171 bool "Verbose debug mode"
172 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
175 Enables extra debugging information, at the expense of a slightly
176 increase in driver size.
178 If you are not sure, say N here.
180 config THINKPAD_ACPI_DOCK
181 bool "Legacy Docking Station Support"
182 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
183 depends on ACPI_DOCK=n
186 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to handle docking station events.
187 This support was made obsolete by the generic ACPI docking station
188 support (CONFIG_ACPI_DOCK). It will allow locking and removing the
189 laptop from the docking station, but will not properly connect PCI
192 If you are not sure, say N here.
194 config THINKPAD_ACPI_BAY
195 bool "Legacy Removable Bay Support"
196 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
199 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to handle removable bays. It will
200 eletrically disable the device in the bay, and also generate
201 notifications when the bay lever is ejected or inserted.
203 If you are not sure, say Y here.
