8 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
11 This is the "Juju" FireWire stack, a new alternative implementation
12 designed for robustness and simplicity. You can build either this
13 stack, or the classic stack (the ieee1394 driver, ohci1394 etc.)
14 or both. Please read http://wiki.linux1394.org/JujuMigration before
15 you enable the new stack.
17 To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the module will be
18 called firewire-core. It functionally replaces ieee1394, raw1394,
23 You should only build ONE of the stacks, unless you REALLY know what
24 you are doing. If you install both, you should configure them only as
25 modules rather than link them statically, and you should blacklist one
26 of the concurrent low-level drivers in /etc/modprobe.conf. Add either
28 blacklist firewire-ohci
32 there depending on which driver you DON'T want to have auto-loaded.
33 You can optionally do the same with the other IEEE 1394/ FireWire
36 If you have an old modprobe which doesn't implement the blacklist
39 install firewire-ohci /bin/true
41 install ohci1394 /bin/true
43 and so on, depending on which modules you DON't want to have
47 tristate "Support for OHCI FireWire host controllers"
48 depends on PCI && FIREWIRE
50 Enable this driver if you have a FireWire controller based
51 on the OHCI specification. For all practical purposes, this
52 is the only chipset in use, so say Y here.
54 To compile this driver as a module, say M here: The module will be
55 called firewire-ohci. It replaces ohci1394 of the classic IEEE 1394
60 If you also build ohci1394 of the classic stack, blacklist either
61 ohci1394 or firewire-ohci to let hotplug load only the desired driver.
64 tristate "Support for storage devices (SBP-2 protocol driver)"
65 depends on FIREWIRE && SCSI
67 This option enables you to use SBP-2 devices connected to a
68 FireWire bus. SBP-2 devices include storage devices like
69 harddisks and DVD drives, also some other FireWire devices
72 To compile this driver as a module, say M here: The module will be
73 called firewire-sbp2. It replaces sbp2 of the classic IEEE 1394
76 You should also enable support for disks, CD-ROMs, etc. in the SCSI
77 configuration section.
81 If you also build sbp2 of the classic stack, blacklist either sbp2
82 or firewire-sbp2 to let hotplug load only the desired driver.
