To compile parallel port support as a module, choose M here: 33 the module will be called parport. 34 If you have more than one parallel port and want to specify which 35 port and IRQ to be used by this driver at module load time, take a 36 look at <file:Documentation/admin-guide/parport.rst>. 37 38 If unsure, say Y. 39 40if PARPORT 41 42config PARPORT_PC 43 tristate "PC-style hardware" 44 depends on ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_PARPORT 45 help 46 You should say Y here if you have a PC-style parallel port. All 47 IBM PC compatible computers and some Alphas have PC-style 48 parallel ports. PA-RISC owners should only say Y here if they 49 have a SuperIO parallel port. 50 51 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the 52 module will be called parport_pc. 53 54 If unsure, say Y. 55 56config PARPORT_SERIAL 57 tristate "Multi-IO cards (parallel and serial)" 58 depends on SERIAL_8250_PCI && PARPORT_PC && PCI 59 help 60 This adds support for multi-IO PCI cards that have parallel and 61 serial ports. You should say Y or M here. If you say M, the module 62 will be called parport_serial. 63 64config PARPORT_PC_FIFO 65 bool "Use FIFO/DMA if available" 66 depends on PARPORT_PC 67 help 68 Many parallel port chipsets provide hardware that can speed up 69 printing. Say Y here if you want to take advantage of that. 70 71 As well as actually having a FIFO, or DMA capability, the kernel 72 will need to know which IRQ the parallel port has. By default, 73 parallel port interrupts will not be used, and so neither will the 74 FIFO. See <file:Documentation/admin-guide/parport.rst> to find out how to 75 specify which IRQ/DMA to use. 76 77config PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO 78 bool "SuperIO chipset support" 79 depends on PARPORT_PC && !PARISC 80 help 81 Saying Y here enables some probes for Super-IO chipsets in order to 82 find out things like base addresses, IRQ lines and DMA channels. It 83 is safe to say N. 84 85config PARPORT_PC_PCMCIA 86 tristate "Support for PCMCIA management for PC-style ports" 87 depends on PCMCIA && PARPORT_PC 88 help 89 Say Y here if you need PCMCIA support for your PC-style parallel 90 ports. If unsure, say N. 91 92config PARPORT_IP32 93 tristate "SGI IP32 builtin port" 94 depends on SGI_IP32 95 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 96 help 97 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port on 98 SGI O2 machines. This code is also available as a module (say M), 99 called parport_ip32. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan. 100 101config PARPORT_AMIGA 102 tristate "Amiga builtin port" 103 depends on AMIGA 104 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 105 help 106 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on 107 Amiga machines. This code is also available as a module (say M), 108 called parport_amiga. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan. 109 110config PARPORT_MFC3 111 tristate "Multiface III parallel port" 112 depends on ZORRO 113 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 114 help 115 Say Y here if you need parallel port support for the MFC3 card. 116 This code is also available as a module (say M), called 117 parport_mfc3. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan. 118 119config PARPORT_ATARI 120 tristate "Atari hardware" 121 depends on ATARI 122 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 123 help 124 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on 125 Atari machines. This code is also available as a module (say M), 126 called parport_atari. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan. 127 128config PARPORT_GSC 129 tristate 130 default GSC 131 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 132 133config PARPORT_SUNBPP 134 tristate "Sparc hardware" 135 depends on SBUS 136 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 137 help 138 This driver provides support for the bidirectional parallel port 139 found on many Sun machines. Note that many of the newer Ultras 140 actually have pc style hardware instead. 141 142config PARPORT_AX88796 143 tristate "AX88796 Parallel Port" 144 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 145 help 146 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on 147 the AX88796 network controller chip. This code is also available 148 as a module (say M), called parport_ax88796. 149 150 The driver is not dependent on the AX88796 network driver, and 151 should not interfere with the networking functions of the chip. 152 153config PARPORT_1284 154 bool "IEEE 1284 transfer modes" 155 help 156 If you have a printer that supports status readback or device ID, or 157 want to use a device that uses enhanced parallel port transfer modes 158 such as EPP and ECP, say Y here to enable advanced IEEE 1284 159 transfer modes. Also say Y if you want device ID information to 160 appear in /proc/sys/dev/parport/*/autoprobe*. It is safe to say N. 161 162config PARPORT_NOT_PC 163 bool 164 165endif # PARPORT 166
