| ---help--- | |
| Say Y here if you want to build support for the IrDA (TM) protocols. | |
| The Infrared Data Associations (tm) specifies standards for wireless | |
| infrared communication and is supported by most laptops and PDA's. | |
| To use Linux support for the IrDA (tm) protocols, you will also need | |
| some user-space utilities like irattach. For more information, see | |
| the file <file:Documentation/networking/irda.txt>. You also want to | |
| read the IR-HOWTO, available at | |
| <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. | |
| If you want to exchange bits of data (vCal, vCard) with a PDA, you | |
| will need to install some OBEX application, such as OpenObex : | |
| <http://sourceforge.net/projects/openobex/> | |
| To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the module will | |
| be called irda. | |

| help | |
| Say Y here to support the connectionless Ultra IRDA protocol. | |
| Ultra allows to exchange data over IrDA with really simple devices | |
| (watch, beacon) without the overhead of the IrDA protocol (no handshaking, | |
| no management frames, simple fixed header). | |
| Ultra is available as a special socket : socket(AF_IRDA, SOCK_DGRAM, 1); | |

| config IRDA_CACHE_LAST_LSAP | |
| bool "Cache last LSAP" | |
| depends on IRDA | |
| help | |
| Say Y here if you want IrLMP to cache the last LSAP used. This | |
| makes sense since most frames will be sent/received on the same | |
| connection. Enabling this option will save a hash-lookup per frame. | |
| If unsure, say Y. | |
| config IRDA_FAST_RR | |
| bool "Fast RRs (low latency)" | |
| depends on IRDA | |
| ---help--- | |
| Say Y here is you want IrLAP to send fast RR (Receive Ready) frames | |
| when acting as a primary station. | |
| Disabling this option will make latency over IrDA very bad. Enabling | |
| this option will make the IrDA stack send more packet than strictly | |
| necessary, thus reduce your battery life (but not that much). | |
| Fast RR will make IrLAP send out a RR frame immediately when | |
| receiving a frame if its own transmit queue is currently empty. This | |
| will give a lot of speed improvement when receiving much data since | |
| the secondary station will not have to wait the max. turn around | |
| time (usually 500ms) before it is allowed to transmit the next time. | |
| If the transmit queue of the secondary is also empty, the primary will | |
| start backing-off before sending another RR frame, waiting longer | |
| each time until the back-off reaches the max. turn around time. | |
| This back-off increase in controlled via | |
| /proc/sys/net/irda/fast_poll_increase | |
| If unsure, say Y. | |
| config IRDA_DEBUG | |
| bool "Debug information" | |
| depends on IRDA | |
| help | |
| Say Y here if you want the IrDA subsystem to write debug information | |
| to your syslog. You can change the debug level in | |
| /proc/sys/net/irda/debug . | |
| When this option is enabled, the IrDA also perform many extra internal | |
| verifications which will usually prevent the kernel to crash in case of | |
| bugs. | |
| If unsure, say Y (since it makes it easier to find the bugs). | |
