9 tristate "Parallel port support"
12 If you want to use devices connected to your machine's parallel port
13 (the connector at the computer with 25 holes), e.g. printer, ZIP
14 drive, PLIP link (Parallel Line Internet Protocol is mainly used to
15 create a mini network by connecting the parallel ports of two local
16 machines) etc., then you need to say Y here; please read
17 <file:Documentation/parport.txt> and
18 <file:drivers/parport/BUGS-parport>.
20 For extensive information about drivers for many devices attaching
21 to the parallel port see <http://www.torque.net/linux-pp.html> on
24 It is possible to share a single parallel port among several devices
25 and it is safe to compile all the corresponding drivers into the
26 kernel. 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>.
34 config ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_PARPORT
37 Select this config option from the architecture Kconfig if
38 the architecture might have PC parallel port hardware.
43 tristate "PC-style hardware"
44 depends on ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_PARPORT
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.
51 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
52 module will be called parport_pc.
57 tristate "Multi-IO cards (parallel and serial)"
58 depends on SERIAL_8250_PCI && PARPORT_PC && PCI
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.
64 config PARPORT_PC_FIFO
65 bool "Use FIFO/DMA if available"
68 Many parallel port chipsets provide hardware that can speed up
69 printing. Say Y here if you want to take advantage of that.
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/parport.txt> to find out how to
75 specify which IRQ/DMA to use.
77 config PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO
78 bool "SuperIO chipset support"
79 depends on PARPORT_PC && !PARISC
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
85 config PARPORT_PC_PCMCIA
86 tristate "Support for PCMCIA management for PC-style ports"
87 depends on PCMCIA && PARPORT_PC
89 Say Y here if you need PCMCIA support for your PC-style parallel
90 ports. If unsure, say N.
93 tristate "SGI IP32 builtin port"
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.
102 tristate "Amiga builtin port"
104 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
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.
111 tristate "Multiface III parallel port"
113 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
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.
120 tristate "Atari hardware"
122 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
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.
131 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
133 config PARPORT_SUNBPP
134 tristate "Sparc hardware"
136 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
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.
142 config PARPORT_AX88796
143 tristate "AX88796 Parallel Port"
144 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
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.
150 The driver is not dependent on the AX88796 network driver, and
151 should not interfere with the networking functions of the chip.
154 bool "IEEE 1284 transfer modes"
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.
162 config PARPORT_NOT_PC
