+I2C support
+CONFIG_I2C
+  I2C (pronounce: I-square-C) is a slow bus protocol developed by
+  Philips. SMBus, or System Management Bus is a sub-protocol of I2C.
+
+  Both I2C and SMBus are supported here. You will need this for 
+  hardware sensors support, and in the future for Video for Linux
+  support.
+
+  Beside this option, you will also need to select specific drivers 
+  for your bus adapter(s). 
+
+I2C bit-banging interfaces
+CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT
+  This allows you to use a range of I2C adapters called bit-banging
+  adapters. Why they are called so is rather technical and uninteresting;
+  but you need to select this if you own one of the adapters listed
+  under it.
+
+Philips style parallel port adapter
+CONFIG_I2C_PHILIPSPAR
+  This supports parallel-port I2C adapters made by Philips. Unless you
+  own such an adapter, you do not need to select this.
+
+ELV adapter
+CONFIG_I2C_ELV
+  This supports parallel-port I2C adapters called ELV. Unless you 
+  own such an adapter, you do not need to select this.
+
+Velleman K9000 adapter
+CONFIG_I2C_VELLEMAN
+  This supports the Velleman K9000 parallel-port I2C adapter. Unless
+  you own such an adapter, you do not need to select this.
+
+I2C PCF 8584 interfaces
+CONFIG_I2C_ALGOPCF
+  This allows you to use a range of I2C adapters called PCF
+  adapters. Why they are called so is rather technical and uninteresting;
+  but you need to select this if you own one of the adapters listed
+  under it.
+
+Elektor ISA card
+CONFIG_I2C_ELEKTOR
+  This supports the PCF8584 ISA bus I2C adapter. Unless you own such
+  an adapter, you do not need to select this.
+
+I2C device interface
+CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV
+  Here you find the drivers which allow you to use the i2c-* device 
+  files, usually found in the /dev directory on your system. They
+  make it possible to have user-space programs use the I2C bus.
