To compile parallel port support as a module, choose M here: 27 the module will be called parport. 28 If you have more than one parallel port and want to specify which 29 port and IRQ to be used by this driver at module load time, take a 30 look at <file:Documentation/parport.txt>. 31 32 If unsure, say Y. 33 34if PARPORT 35 36config PARPORT_PC 37 tristate "PC-style hardware" 38 depends on (!SPARC64 || PCI) && !SPARC32 && !M32R && !FRV && (!M68K || ISA) 39 ---help--- 40 You should say Y here if you have a PC-style parallel port. All 41 IBM PC compatible computers and some Alphas have PC-style 42 parallel ports. PA-RISC owners should only say Y here if they 43 have a SuperIO parallel port. 44 45 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the 46 module will be called parport_pc. 47 48 If unsure, say Y. 49 50config PARPORT_SERIAL 51 tristate "Multi-IO cards (parallel and serial)" 52 depends on SERIAL_8250_PCI && PARPORT_PC && PCI 53 help 54 This adds support for multi-IO PCI cards that have parallel and 55 serial ports. You should say Y or M here. If you say M, the module 56 will be called parport_serial. 57 58config PARPORT_PC_FIFO 59 bool "Use FIFO/DMA if available (EXPERIMENTAL)" 60 depends on PARPORT_PC && EXPERIMENTAL 61 help 62 Many parallel port chipsets provide hardware that can speed up 63 printing. Say Y here if you want to take advantage of that. 64 65 As well as actually having a FIFO, or DMA capability, the kernel 66 will need to know which IRQ the parallel port has. By default, 67 parallel port interrupts will not be used, and so neither will the 68 FIFO. See <file:Documentation/parport.txt> to find out how to 69 specify which IRQ/DMA to use. 70 71config PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO 72 bool "SuperIO chipset support (EXPERIMENTAL)" 73 depends on PARPORT_PC && EXPERIMENTAL 74 help 75 Saying Y here enables some probes for Super-IO chipsets in order to 76 find out things like base addresses, IRQ lines and DMA channels. It 77 is safe to say N. 78 79config PARPORT_PC_PCMCIA 80 tristate "Support for PCMCIA management for PC-style ports" 81 depends on PCMCIA && PARPORT_PC 82 help 83 Say Y here if you need PCMCIA support for your PC-style parallel 84 ports. If unsure, say N. 85 86config PARPORT_IP32 87 tristate "SGI IP32 builtin port (EXPERIMENTAL)" 88 depends on SGI_IP32 && EXPERIMENTAL 89 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 90 help 91 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port on 92 SGI O2 machines. This code is also available as a module (say M), 93 called parport_ip32. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan. 94 95config PARPORT_AMIGA 96 tristate "Amiga builtin port" 97 depends on AMIGA 98 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 99 help 100 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on 101 Amiga machines. This code is also available as a module (say M), 102 called parport_amiga. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan. 103 104config PARPORT_MFC3 105 tristate "Multiface III parallel port" 106 depends on ZORRO 107 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 108 help 109 Say Y here if you need parallel port support for the MFC3 card. 110 This code is also available as a module (say M), called 111 parport_mfc3. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan. 112 113config PARPORT_ATARI 114 tristate "Atari hardware" 115 depends on ATARI 116 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 117 help 118 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on 119 Atari machines. This code is also available as a module (say M), 120 called parport_atari. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan. 121 122config PARPORT_GSC 123 tristate 124 default GSC 125 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 126 127config PARPORT_SUNBPP 128 tristate "Sparc hardware (EXPERIMENTAL)" 129 depends on SBUS && 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 select PARPORT_NOT_PC 139 help 140 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on 141 the AX88796 network controller chip. This code is also available 142 as a module (say M), called parport_ax88796. 143 144 The driver is not dependant on the AX88796 network driver, and 145 should not interfere with the networking functions of the chip. 146 147config PARPORT_1284 148 bool "IEEE 1284 transfer modes" 149 help 150 If you have a printer that supports status readback or device ID, or 151 want to use a device that uses enhanced parallel port transfer modes 152 such as EPP and ECP, say Y here to enable advanced IEEE 1284 153 transfer modes. Also say Y if you want device ID information to 154 appear in /proc/sys/dev/parport/*/autoprobe*. It is safe to say N. 155 156config PARPORT_NOT_PC 157 bool 158 159endif # PARPORT 160
