2009-12-29firewire, ieee1394: update Kconfig helpStefan Richter1-17/+42
Update the Kconfig help texts of both stacks to encourage a general move from the older to the newer drivers. However, do not label ieee1394 as "Obsolete" yet, as the newer drivers have not been deployed as default stack in the majority of Linux distributions yet, and those who start doing so now may still want to install the old drivers as fallback for unforeseen issues. Since Linux 2.6.32, FireWire audio devices can be driven by the newer firewire driver stack too, hence remove an outdated comment about audio devices. Also remove comments about library versions since the 2nd generation of libraw1394 and libdc1394 is now in common use; details on library versions can be read at the wiki link from the help texts.

2009-06-21firewire: new stack is no longer experimentalStefan Richter1-13/+6
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.

2007-04-30ieee1394: eth1394: don't autoload by hotplug when ohci1394 startsStefan Richter1-20/+9
Until now, ieee1394 put an IP-over-1394 capability entry into each new host's config ROM. As soon as the controller was initialized --- i.e. right after modprobe ohci1394 --- this entry triggered a hotplug event which typically caused auto-loading of eth1394. This irritated or annoyed many users and distributors. Of course they could blacklist eth1394, but then ieee1394 wrongly advertized IP-over- 1394 capability to the FireWire bus. Therefore - remove the offending kernel config option IEEE1394_CONFIG_ROM_IP1394, - let eth1394 add the ROM entry by itself, i.e. only after eth1394 was loaded. This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7793 . To emulate the behaviour of older kernels, simply add the following to to /etc/modprobe.conf: install ohci1394 /sbin/modprobe eth1394; \ /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ohci1394 Note, autoloading of eth1394 when an _external_ IP-over-1394 capable device is discovered is _not_ affected by this patch.

2007-04-09ieee1394: change deprecation status of dv1394Stefan Richter1-3/+3
Nobody ported ffmpeg from dv1394 to rawiso yet, and there is no justification to remove dv1394 right now. Nevertheless, a strong deprecation of this ABI makes a lot of sense, especially as Kristian H's drivers shape up to be an attractive alternative to the existing ones. But we don't have a schedule at the moment. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

There is no manpower available to reform oui.db into a library for use in more kernel subsystems.

2005-07-10[PATCH] Sync up ieee-1394Ben Collins1-0/+12
Lots of this patch is trivial code cleanups (static vars were being intialized to 0, etc). There's also some fixes for ISO transmits (max buffer handling). Aswell, we have a few fixes to disable IRM capabilites correctly. We've also disabled, by default some generally unused EXPORT symbols for the sake of cleanliness in the kernel. However, instead of removing them completely, we felt it necessary to have a config option that allowed them to be enabled for the many projects outside of the main kernel tree that use our API for driver development. The primary reason for this patch is to revert a MODE6->MODE10 RBC conversion patch from the SCSI maintainers. The new conversions handled directly in the scsi layer do not seem to work for SBP2. This patch reverts to our old working code so that users can enjoy using Firewire disks and dvd drives again. We are working with the SCSI maintainers to resolve this issue outside of the main kernel tree. We'll merge the patch once the SCSI layer's handling of the MODE10 conversion is working for us.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds1-0/+188
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
