- 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.
+ 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. Please read http://wiki.linux1394.org/JujuMigration before
+ you enable the new stack.
+
+ 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 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.
+ If you have an old modprobe which doesn't implement the blacklist
+ directive, use either
- This is the "JUJU" FireWire stack, an alternative
- implementation designed for robustness and simplicity.
+ install firewire-ohci /bin/true
+ or
+ install ohci1394 /bin/true
- To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the
- module will be called fw-core.
+ and so on, depending on which modules you DON't want to have
+ auto-loaded.

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.

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

You should also enable support for disks, CD-ROMs, etc. in the SCSI
configuration section.
