- 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
|

- This is the "JUJU" FireWire stack, an alternative implementation
|
|
|
+ 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
+ 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
