covers drivers for specific cards, chipsets, and tunable
parameters for the SCSI protocol.Old CD-ROM
drivers
Configuration options to support obscure, older CD-
ROM devices that do not conform to the SCSI or IDE
standards. These are typically older CD-ROM drivers
that are usually a proprietary type of SCSI (not SCSI
and not IDE).Multidevice support Options for enabling the kernel to support RAID
devices in RAID and LVM software emulation and the
different levels of RAID. Also contains options for
support of a logical volume manager.
Fusion MPT device
support
Configures support for LSI’s Logic Fusion Message
Passing Technology for high-performance SCSI and
LAN interfaces.IEEE1394 (firewire)
support
Experimental support for FireWire devices.I20 device support Options for supporting the Intelligent Input/Output
architecture, which enables the hardware driver to be
split from the operating system driver, thus enabling a
multitude of hardware devices to be compatible with an
operating system in one implementation.
Networking support Several options for the configuration of networking in
the kernel. The options are for the types of supported
protocols and configurable options of those protocols.
Amateur radio
support
Options for configuring support of devices that support
the AX25 protocol.IrDA (infrared)
support
Options for configuring support of the infrared Data
Association suite of protocols and devices that use these
protocols.Bluetooth support Support for the Bluetooth wireless protocol. Includes
options to support the Bluetooth protocols and hardware
devices.
