+ be used under different operating systems if the relevant OSM is in

+USS720 parport driver
+CONFIG_USB_USS720
+ This driver is for USB parallel port adapters that use the Lucent

+ parallel port interfaces.
+
+ The chip has two modes: automatic mode and manual mode. In automatic
+ mode, it looks to the computer like a standard USB printer. Only
+ printers may be connected to the USS-720 in this mode. The generic
+ USB printer driver ("USB Printer support", above) may be used in
+ that mode, and you can say N here if you want to use the chip only
+ in this mode.
+
+ Manual mode is not limited to printers, any parallel port
+ device should work. This driver utilizes manual mode.
+ Note however that some operations are three orders of magnitude
+ slower than on a PCI/ISA Parallel Port, so timing critical
+ applications might not work.
+
+ Say Y here if you own an USS-720 USB->Parport cable and intend to
+ connect anything other than a printer to it.
+
+ This code is also available as a module ( = code which can be

+ connected to your USB busses, a file /proc/usb/drivers which lists
+ the USB kernel client drivers currently loaded, and for every
+ connected device a file named "/proc/usb/xxx/yyy", where xxx is the
+ bus number and yyy the device number; the latter files can be used
+ by user space programs to talk directly to the device. These files
+ are "virtual", meaning they are generated on the fly and not stored
+ on the hard drive.
+
+ For the format of the /proc/usb/ files, please read
+ Documentation/usb/proc_usb_info.txt.
+
+ Please note that this code is completely unrelated to devfs, the
+ "/dev file system support".
+
+ Most users want to say Y here.

+CONFIG_HOTPLUG
+ Say Y here if you want to plug devices into your computer while
+ the system is running, and be able to use them quickly. In many
+ cases, the devices can likewise be unplugged at any time too.
+
+ Enable this with KMOD, and your kernel will automatically
+ call out to a user mode "policy agent" to load drivers and other
+ modules needed to use USB devices you plug in. With a bit of work,
+ it can invoke other device setup tasks. Get such agent software
+ (at http://www.linux-usb.org/policy.html) and install it.
+
+USB Bandwidth allocation
+CONFIG_USB_BANDWIDTH
+ If you say Y here, the USB subsystem enforces USB bandwidth
+ allocation and will prevent some device opens from succeeding
+ if they would cause USB bandwidth usage to go above 90% of
+ the bus bandwidth.
+
+ If you say N here, these conditions will cause warning messages
