This is the "Juju" FireWire stack, a new alternative implementation
designed for robustness and simplicity. You can build either this
stack, or the classic stack (the ieee1394 driver, ohci1394 etc.)
or both.
To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the module will be
called firewire-core. It functionally replaces ieee1394, raw1394,
and video1394.
NOTE:
You should only build ONE of the stacks, unless you REALLY know what
you are doing. If you install both, you should configure them only as
modules rather than link them statically, and you should blacklist one
of the concurrent low-level drivers in /etc/modprobe.conf. Add either
blacklist firewire-ohci
or
blacklist ohci1394
there depending on which driver you DON'T want to have auto-loaded.
You can optionally do the same with the other IEEE 1394/ FireWire
drivers.
If you have an old modprobe which doesn't implement the blacklist
directive, use either
install firewire-ohci /bin/true
or
install ohci1394 /bin/true
and so on, depending on which modules you DON't want to have
auto-loaded.

tristate "Support for OHCI FireWire host controllers"
depends on PCI && FIREWIRE
help
Enable this driver if you have a FireWire controller based
on the OHCI specification. For all practical purposes, this
is the only chipset in use, so say Y here.
To compile this driver as a module, say M here: The module will be
called firewire-ohci. It replaces ohci1394 of the classic IEEE 1394
stack.
NOTE:
If you also build ohci1394 of the classic stack, blacklist either
ohci1394 or firewire-ohci to let hotplug load only the desired driver.
config FIREWIRE_SBP2
tristate "Support for storage devices (SBP-2 protocol driver)"
depends on FIREWIRE && SCSI
help
This option enables you to use SBP-2 devices connected to a
FireWire bus. SBP-2 devices include storage devices like
harddisks and DVD drives, also some other FireWire devices
like scanners.
To compile this driver as a module, say M here: The module will be
called firewire-sbp2. It replaces sbp2 of the classic IEEE 1394
stack.
You should also enable support for disks, CD-ROMs, etc. in the SCSI
configuration section.
NOTE:
If you also build sbp2 of the classic stack, blacklist either sbp2
or firewire-sbp2 to let hotplug load only the desired driver.
