To compile parallel port support as a module, choose M here: 28 the module will be called parport. 29 If you have more than one parallel port and want to specify which 30 port and IRQ to be used by this driver at module load time, take a 31 look at <file:Documentation/parport.txt>. 32 33 If unsure, say Y. 34 35config PARPORT_PC 36 tristate "PC-style hardware" 37 depends on PARPORT && (!SPARC64 || PCI) && !SPARC32 && !M32R && !FRV 38 ---help--- 39 You should say Y here if you have a PC-style parallel port. All 40 IBM PC compatible computers and some Alphas have PC-style 41 parallel ports. PA-RISC owners should only say Y here if they 42 have a SuperIO parallel port. 43 44 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the 45 module will be called parport_pc. 46 47 If unsure, say Y. 48 49config PARPORT_SERIAL 50 tristate "Multi-IO cards (parallel and serial)" 51 depends on SERIAL_8250_PCI && PARPORT_PC && PCI 52 help 53 This adds support for multi-IO PCI cards that have parallel and 54 serial ports. You should say Y or M here. If you say M, the module 55 will be called parport_serial. 56 57config PARPORT_PC_FIFO 58 bool "Use FIFO/DMA if available (EXPERIMENTAL)" 59 depends on PARPORT_PC && EXPERIMENTAL 60 help 61 Many parallel port chipsets provide hardware that can speed up 62 printing. Say Y here if you want to take advantage of that. 63 64 As well as actually having a FIFO, or DMA capability, the kernel 65 will need to know which IRQ the parallel port has. By default, 66 parallel port interrupts will not be used, and so neither will the 67 FIFO. See <file:Documentation/parport.txt> to find out how to 68 specify which IRQ/DMA to use. 69 70config PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO 71 bool "SuperIO chipset support (EXPERIMENTAL)" 72 depends on PARPORT_PC && EXPERIMENTAL 73 help 74 Saying Y here enables some probes for Super-IO chipsets in order to 75 find out things like base addresses, IRQ lines and DMA channels. It 76 is safe to say N. 77 78config PARPORT_PC_PCMCIA 79 tristate "Support for PCMCIA management for PC-style ports" 80 depends on PCMCIA && PARPORT_PC 81 help 82 Say Y here if you need PCMCIA support for your PC-style parallel 83 ports. If unsure, say N. 84 85config PARPORT_IP32 86 tristate "SGI IP32 builtin port (EXPERIMENTAL)" 87 depends on SGI_IP32 && PARPORT && EXPERIMENTAL 88 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 89 help 90 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port on 91 SGI O2 machines. This code is also available as a module (say M), 92 called parport_ip32. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan. 93 94config PARPORT_AMIGA 95 tristate "Amiga builtin port" 96 depends on AMIGA && PARPORT 97 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 98 help 99 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on 100 Amiga machines. This code is also available as a module (say M), 101 called parport_amiga. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan. 102 103config PARPORT_MFC3 104 tristate "Multiface III parallel port" 105 depends on ZORRO && PARPORT 106 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 107 help 108 Say Y here if you need parallel port support for the MFC3 card. 109 This code is also available as a module (say M), called 110 parport_mfc3. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan. 111 112config PARPORT_ATARI 113 tristate "Atari hardware" 114 depends on ATARI && PARPORT 115 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 116 help 117 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on 118 Atari machines. This code is also available as a module (say M), 119 called parport_atari. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan. 120 121config PARPORT_GSC 122 tristate 123 default GSC 124 depends on PARPORT 125 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 126 127config PARPORT_SUNBPP 128 tristate "Sparc hardware (EXPERIMENTAL)" 129 depends on SBUS && PARPORT && EXPERIMENTAL 130 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 131 help 132 This driver provides support for the bidirectional parallel port 133 found on many Sun machines. Note that many of the newer Ultras 134 actually have pc style hardware instead. 135 136config PARPORT_AX88796 137 tristate "AX88796 Parallel Port" 138 depends on PARPORT 139 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 140 help 141 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on 142 the AX88796 network controller chip. This code is also available 143 as a module (say M), called parport_ax88796. 144 145 The driver is not dependant on the AX88796 network driver, and 146 should not interfere with the networking functions of the chip. 147 148config PARPORT_1284 149 bool "IEEE 1284 transfer modes" 150 depends on PARPORT 151 help 152 If you have a printer that supports status readback or device ID, or 153 want to use a device that uses enhanced parallel port transfer modes 154 such as EPP and ECP, say Y here to enable advanced IEEE 1284 155 transfer modes. Also say Y if you want device ID information to 156 appear in /proc/sys/dev/parport/*/autoprobe*. It is safe to say N. 157 158config PARPORT_NOT_PC 159 bool 160 161endmenu 162 163
