+IEEE 1394 (aka FireWire) support
+CONFIG_IEEE1394
+ 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).
+
+ 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 want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
+ say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt. The module will be
+ called ieee1394.o.
+
+ FireWire is a trademark by Apple Inc. and i.Link is a trademark by
+ Sony.
+
+TI PCILynx IEEE 1394 support
+CONFIG_IEEE1394_PCILYNX
+ Say Y here if you have a IEEE-1394 controller with the Texas
+ Instruments PCILynx chip. Note: this driver is written for revision
+ 2 of this chip and may not work with revision 0.
+
+ If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
+ say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt. The module will be
+ called pcilynx.o.
+
+Use local RAM on PCILynx board
+CONFIG_IEEE1394_PCILYNX_LOCALRAM
+ This option makes the PCILynx driver use local RAM available on some
+ PCILynx setups for Packet Control Lists. Local RAM may speed up
+ command processing because no PCI transfers are necessary during
+ use of the Packet Control Lists.
+
+ Note that there are no known PCILynx systems providing local RAM
+ except for the evaluation boards by Texas Instruments and that the
+ PCILynx does not reliably report missing RAM.
+
+ Unless you are absolutely sure that you have 64kB of local RAM and
+ that you want to use it or if you don't know what this is all about,
+ say N here.
+
+Adaptec AIC-5800 IEEE 1394 support
+CONFIG_IEEE1394_AIC5800
+ Say Y here if you have a IEEE 1394 controller using the Adaptec
+ AIC-5800 chip. All Adaptec host adapters (89xx series) use this
+ chip, as well as miro's DV boards.
+
+ If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
+ say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt. The module will be
+ called aic5800.o.
+
+OHCI (Open Host Controller Interface) support
+CONFIG_IEEE1394_OHCI1394
+ Say Y here if you have a IEEE 1394 controller based on OHCI.
+ The current driver was only tested with OHCI chipsets made

+ TI chips.
+
+ If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be
