Update the Kconfig help texts of both stacks to encourage a general move from the older to the newer drivers. However, do not label ieee1394 as "Obsolete" yet, as the newer drivers have not been deployed as default stack in the majority of Linux distributions yet, and those who start doing so now may still want to install the old drivers as fallback for unforeseen issues. Since Linux 2.6.32, FireWire audio devices can be driven by the newer firewire driver stack too, hence remove an outdated comment about audio devices. Also remove comments about library versions since the 2nd generation of libraw1394 and libdc1394 is now in common use; details on library versions can be read at the wiki link from the help texts.

This is the new-generation IEEE 1394 (FireWire) driver stack
|
|
a.k.a. Juju, a new implementation designed for robustness and
|
|
simplicity.
|
|
See http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration
|
|
for information about migration from the older Linux 1394 stack
|
|
to the new driver stack.
|
|
|

To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the module will be
|
|
called firewire-core.

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.

|

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

This enables IPv4 over IEEE 1394, providing IP connectivity with
|
|
other implementations of RFC 2734 as found on several operating
|
|
systems. Multicast support is currently limited.
|
|
|
|
NOTE, this driver is not stable yet!
