12 This is the "Juju" FireWire stack, a new alternative implementation
13 designed for robustness and simplicity. You can build either this
14 stack, or the old stack (the ieee1394 driver, ohci1394 etc.) or both.
15 Please read http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration
16 before you enable the new stack.
18 To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the module will be
21 This module functionally replaces ieee1394, raw1394, and video1394.
22 To access it from application programs, you generally need at least
23 libraw1394 version 2. IIDC/DCAM applications also need libdc1394
24 version 2. No libraries are required to access storage devices
25 through the firewire-sbp2 driver.

29 depends on PCI && FIREWIRE
31 Enable this driver if you have a FireWire controller based
32 on the OHCI specification. For all practical purposes, this
33 is the only chipset in use, so say Y here.
35 To compile this driver as a module, say M here: The module will be
36 called firewire-ohci. It replaces ohci1394 of the classic IEEE 1394
41 You should only build either firewire-ohci or the old ohci1394 driver,
42 but not both. If you nevertheless want to install both, you should
43 configure them only as modules and blacklist the driver(s) which you
44 don't want to have auto-loaded. Add either
46 blacklist firewire-ohci
52 to /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modprobe.d/* and update modprobe.conf
53 depending on your distribution. The latter two modules should be
54 blacklisted together with ohci1394 because they depend on ohci1394.
56 If you have an old modprobe which doesn't implement the blacklist
57 directive, use "install modulename /bin/true" for the modules to be

67 depends on FIREWIRE && SCSI
69 This option enables you to use SBP-2 devices connected to a
70 FireWire bus. SBP-2 devices include storage devices like
71 harddisks and DVD drives, also some other FireWire devices
74 To compile this driver as a module, say M here: The module will be
75 called firewire-sbp2. It replaces sbp2 of the classic IEEE 1394
78 You should also enable support for disks, CD-ROMs, etc. in the SCSI
79 configuration section.
