2009-06-21firewire: new stack is no longer experimentalStefan Richter
The new stack is now recommended over the old one if used for industrial video (IIDC/DCAM) or for storage devices (SBP-2) due to better performance, improved compatibility, added features, and security. It should also be functionally on par with and is more secure than the old ieee1394 stack in the use case of consumer video devices. IP-over-1394 support for the new stack is currently emerging, and a backend of the firedtv DVB driver to the new stack should be available soon. The one remaining area where the old stack is still required are audio devices, as the new stack is not yet able to support the FFADO FireWire audio framework.

2009-06-14firewire: net: add Kconfig item, rename driverStefan Richter
The driver is now called firewire-net. It might implement the transport of other networking protocols in the future, notably IPv6 per RFC 3146. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

2008-06-19firewire: Kconfig menu touch-upStefan Richter
Emphasize the recommendation to build only one stack. Trim the prompts to better fit into short attention spans. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
2008-04-18firewire: debug interrupt eventsStefan Richter
This adds debug printks for asynchronous transmission and reception and for self ID reception. They can be enabled at module load time, and at runtime via /sys/module/firewire_ohci/parameters/debug. Signed-off-by: Jarod Wilson <jwilson@redhat.com> Also added: Logging of interrupt event codes and of cancelled AT packets. The code now depends on a Kconfig variable. This makes it easier to build firewire-ohci without the feature or to make it an option in the future. The variable is currently hidden and always on. This feature inflates firewire-ohci.ko by 7 kB = 27% on x86-64 and by 4 kB = 23% on i686. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
2008-03-14firewire: update Kconfig help textStefan Richter
Remove some less necessary information, point out that video1394 and dv1394 should be blacklisted along with ohci1394. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

2007-06-29firewire: add Kconfig help on building both stacksStefan Richter
Alas that won't work so good, because nobody reads help texts. I thought about adding some crude multiple choice selection (build the old stack, build the new stack, build both stacks). It's possible, but it would introduce awkward dummy config variables. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
2007-05-27firewire: prefix modules with firewire- instead of fw-Stefan Richter
Of course everybody immediately associates "fw-" with FireWire, not firmware or firewall or whatever. But "firewire-" has a nice ring to it too. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de> Acked-by: Kristian Hoegsberg <krh@bitplanet.net>
2007-05-10firewire: Use lib/ implementation of CRC ITU-T.Kristian Høgsberg
With the CRC ITU-T implementation available in lib/ we can use that instead. This also fixes a bug in the topology map crc computation. Signed-off-by: Kristian Hoegsberg <krh@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de> (fixed Kconfig)
