firewire: add Kconfig help on building both stacks
Alas that won't work so good, because nobody reads help texts. I thought about adding some crude multiple choice selection (build the old stack, build the new stack, build both stacks). It's possible, but it would introduce awkward dummy config variables. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

IEEE 1394 describes a high performance serial bus, which is also

This is the "Juju" FireWire stack, a new alternative implementation
|
||||||
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

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.
