comment "A new alternative FireWire stack is available with EXPERIMENTAL=y" depends on EXPERIMENTAL=n comment "Enable only one of the two stacks, unless you know what you are doing" depends on EXPERIMENTAL config FIREWIRE tristate "New FireWire stack, EXPERIMENTAL" depends on EXPERIMENTAL select CRC_ITU_T help This is the "Juju" FireWire stack, a new alternative implementation designed for robustness and simplicity. You can build either this stack, or the old stack (the ieee1394 driver, ohci1394 etc.) or both. Please read http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration before you enable the new stack. To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the module will be called firewire-core. This module functionally replaces ieee1394, raw1394, and video1394. To access it from application programs, you generally need at least libraw1394 version 2. IIDC/DCAM applications also need libdc1394 version 2. No libraries are required to access storage devices through the firewire-sbp2 driver. config FIREWIRE_OHCI tristate "OHCI-1394 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: You should only build either firewire-ohci or the old ohci1394 driver, but not both. If you nevertheless want to install both, you should configure them only as modules and blacklist the driver(s) which you don't want to have auto-loaded. Add either blacklist firewire-ohci or blacklist ohci1394 blacklist video1394 blacklist dv1394 to /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modprobe.d/* and update modprobe.conf depending on your distribution. The latter two modules should be blacklisted together with ohci1394 because they depend on ohci1394. If you have an old modprobe which doesn't implement the blacklist directive, use "install modulename /bin/true" for the modules to be blacklisted. config FIREWIRE_OHCI_DEBUG bool depends on FIREWIRE_OHCI default y config FIREWIRE_SBP2 tristate "Storage devices (SBP-2 protocol)" 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.
