- 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.

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.

+ 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
-config FW_SBP2

+ 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.

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.

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