10config PARPORT
11 tristate "Parallel port support"
12 ---help---
13 If you want to use devices connected to your machine's parallel port
14 (the connector at the computer with 25 holes), e.g. printer, ZIP
15 drive, PLIP link (Parallel Line Internet Protocol is mainly used to
16 create a mini network by connecting the parallel ports of two local
17 machines) etc., then you need to say Y here; please read
18 <file:Documentation/parport.txt> and
19 <file:drivers/parport/BUGS-parport>.
20
21 For extensive information about drivers for many devices attaching
22 to the parallel port see <http://www.torque.net/linux-pp.html> on
23 the WWW.
24
25 It is possible to share a single parallel port among several devices
26 and it is safe to compile all the corresponding drivers into the
27 kernel. 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"
David Howells2919b512006-01-08 01:01:16 -080037 depends on PARPORT && (!SPARC64 || PCI) && !SPARC32 && !M32R && !FRV
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070038 ---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)"
Russell King14228a42006-06-18 13:00:48 +010051 depends on SERIAL_8250_PCI && PARPORT_PC && PCI
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070052 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"
Adrian Bunka1b91682006-01-06 00:19:52 -080080 depends on PCMCIA && PARPORT_PC
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070081 help
82 Say Y here if you need PCMCIA support for your PC-style parallel
83 ports. If unsure, say N.
84
Arnaud Giersch8e75f742006-02-03 03:04:16 -080085config 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
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070094config 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

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.

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.

Ben Dooksad4063b2006-06-25 05:48:03 -0700136config PARPORT_AX88796

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.

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.
