Remove some less necessary information, point out that video1394 and
dv1394 should be blacklisted along with ohci1394.

This is the "Juju" FireWire stack, a new alternative implementation
designed for robustness and simplicity. You can build either this
stack, or the classic stack (the ieee1394 driver, ohci1394 etc.)
or both. Please read http://wiki.linux1394.org/JujuMigration before
you enable the new stack.
To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the module will be
called firewire-core. It functionally replaces ieee1394, raw1394,
and video1394.
NOTE:
You should only build ONE of the stacks, unless you REALLY know what
you are doing.
config FIREWIRE_OHCI
tristate "Support for OHCI FireWire host controllers"
depends on PCI && FIREWIRE
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 ohci1394 or firewire-ohci, 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.
config FIREWIRE_SBP2
tristate "Support for storage devices (SBP-2 protocol driver)"
depends on FIREWIRE && SCSI
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.
