11 IEEE 1394 describes a high performance serial bus, which is also 11 This is the "Juju" FireWire stack, a new alternative implementation
12 known as FireWire(tm) or i.Link(tm) and is used for connecting all
13 sorts of devices (most notably digital video cameras) to your
14 computer.

16 If you have FireWire hardware and want to use it, say Y here. This
17 is the core support only, you will also need to select a driver for
18 your IEEE 1394 adapter.

23 This is the "JUJU" FireWire stack, an alternative implementation
24 designed for robustness and simplicity. You can build either this 12 designed for robustness and simplicity. You can build either this

20 NOTE:
21
22 You should only build ONE of the stacks, unless you REALLY know what
23 you are doing. If you install both, you should configure them only as
24 modules rather than link them statically, and you should blacklist one
25 of the concurrent low-level drivers in /etc/modprobe.conf. Add either
26
27 blacklist firewire-ohci
28 or
29 blacklist ohci1394

32 You can optionally do the same with the other IEEE 1394/ FireWire
33 drivers.
