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.

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