config IEEE1394
tristate "Legacy alternative FireWire driver stack"
depends on PCI || BROKEN
help
IEEE 1394 describes a high performance serial bus, which is also
known as FireWire(tm) or i.Link(tm) and is used for connecting all
sorts of devices (most notably digital video cameras) to your
computer.
If you have FireWire hardware and want to use it, say Y here. This
is the core support only, you will also need to select a driver for
your IEEE 1394 adapter.
To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the module will be
called ieee1394.
NOTE:
ieee1394 is superseded by the newer firewire-core driver. See
http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration for
further information on how to switch to the new FireWire drivers.
config IEEE1394_OHCI1394
tristate "OHCI-1394 controllers"
depends on PCI && IEEE1394
help
Enable this driver if you have an IEEE 1394 controller based on the
OHCI-1394 specification. The current driver is only tested with OHCI
chipsets made by Texas Instruments and NEC. Most third-party vendors
use one of these chipsets. It should work with any OHCI-1394
compliant card, however.
To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the module will be
called ohci1394.
NOTE:
ohci1394 is superseded by the newer firewire-ohci driver. See
http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration for
further information on how to switch to the new FireWire drivers.
If you want to install firewire-ohci and ohci1394 together, you
should configure them only as modules and blacklist the driver(s)
which you don't want to have auto-loaded. Add either
blacklist ohci1394
blacklist video1394
blacklist dv1394
or
blacklist firewire-ohci
to /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modprobe.d/* and update modprobe.conf
depending on your distribution.

config IEEE1394_PCILYNX
tristate "PCILynx controller"
depends on PCI && IEEE1394 && I2C
select I2C_ALGOBIT
help
Say Y here if you have an IEEE-1394 controller with the Texas
Instruments PCILynx chip. Note: this driver is written for revision
2 of this chip and may not work with revision 0.
To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the module will be
called pcilynx.
Only some old and now very rare PCI and CardBus cards and
PowerMacs G3 B&W contain the PCILynx controller. Therefore
almost everybody can say N here.
comment "SBP-2 support (for storage devices) requires SCSI"
depends on IEEE1394 && SCSI=n
config IEEE1394_SBP2
tristate "Storage devices (SBP-2 protocol)"
depends on IEEE1394 && SCSI
help
This option enables you to use SBP-2 devices connected to an IEEE
1394 bus. SBP-2 devices include storage devices like harddisks and
DVD drives, also some other FireWire devices like scanners.
You should also enable support for disks, CD-ROMs, etc. in the SCSI
configuration section.
To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the module will be
called sbp2.
NOTE:
sbp2 is superseded by the newer firewire-sbp2 driver. See
http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration for
further information on how to switch to the new FireWire drivers.
config IEEE1394_SBP2_PHYS_DMA
bool "Enable replacement for physical DMA in SBP2"
depends on IEEE1394_SBP2 && VIRT_TO_BUS && EXPERIMENTAL
help
This builds sbp2 for use with non-OHCI host adapters which do not
support physical DMA or for when ohci1394 is run with phys_dma=0.
Physical DMA is data movement without assistance of the drivers'
interrupt handlers. This option includes the interrupt handlers
that are required in absence of this hardware feature.
This option is buggy and currently broken on some architectures.
If unsure, say N.

select IEEE1394_ETH1394_ROM_ENTRY
help
This driver implements a functional majority of RFC 2734: IPv4 over
1394. It will provide IP connectivity with implementations of RFC
2734 found on other operating systems. It will not communicate with
older versions of this driver found in stock kernels prior to 2.6.3.
This driver is still considered experimental. It does not yet support
MCAP, therefore multicast support is significantly limited.
The module is called eth1394 although it does not emulate Ethernet.
NOTE:
eth1394 is superseded by the newer firewire-net driver. See
http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration for
further information on how to switch to the new FireWire drivers.
config IEEE1394_RAWIO
tristate "raw1394 userspace interface"
depends on IEEE1394
help
This option adds support for the raw1394 device file which enables
direct communication of user programs with IEEE 1394 devices
(isochronous and asynchronous). Almost all application programs
which access FireWire require this option.
To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the module will be
called raw1394.
NOTE:
raw1394 is superseded by the newer firewire-core driver. See
http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration for
further information on how to switch to the new FireWire drivers.
config IEEE1394_VIDEO1394
tristate "video1394 userspace interface"
depends on IEEE1394 && IEEE1394_OHCI1394
help
This option adds support for the video1394 device files which enable
isochronous communication of user programs with IEEE 1394 devices,
especially video capture or export. This interface is used by all
libdc1394 based programs and by several other programs, in addition to
the raw1394 interface. It is generally not required for DV capture.
To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the module will be
called video1394.
NOTE:
video1394 is superseded by the newer firewire-core driver. See
http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration for
further information on how to switch to the new FireWire drivers.

tristate "dv1394 userspace interface (deprecated)"
depends on IEEE1394 && IEEE1394_OHCI1394
help
The dv1394 driver is unsupported and may be removed from Linux in a
future release. Its functionality is now provided by either
raw1394 or firewire-core together with libraries such as libiec61883.
config IEEE1394_VERBOSEDEBUG
bool "Excessive debugging output"
depends on IEEE1394
help
If you say Y here, you will get very verbose debugging logs from the
ieee1394 drivers, including sent and received packet headers. This
will quickly result in large amounts of data sent to the system log.
Say Y if you really need the debugging output. Everyone else says N.
