- 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.

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.

+ Nosy is an IEEE 1394 packet sniffer that is used for protocol

+ or firmwares.
+
+ This driver lets you use a Texas Instruments PCILynx 1394 to PCI

+ PCILynx is a nowadays very rare IEEE 1394 controller which is
+ not OHCI 1394 compliant.
+
+ The following cards are known to be based on PCILynx or PCILynx-2:
+ IOI IOI-1394TT (PCI card), Unibrain Fireboard 400 PCI Lynx-2
+ (PCI card), Newer Technology FireWire 2 Go (CardBus card),
+ Apple Power Mac G3 blue & white and G4 with PCI graphics
+ (onboard controller).
+
+ To compile this driver as a module, say M here: The module will be
+ called nosy. Source code of a userspace interface to nosy, called
+ nosy-dump, can be found in tools/firewire/ of the kernel sources.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
