| ---help--- |
| b43 is a driver for the Broadcom 43xx series wireless devices. |
| |
| Check "lspci" for something like |
| "Broadcom Corporation BCM43XX 802.11 Wireless LAN Controller" |
| to determine whether you own such a device. |
| |
| This driver supports the new BCM43xx IEEE 802.11G devices, but not |
| the old IEEE 802.11B devices. Old devices are supported by |
| the b43legacy driver. |
| Note that this has nothing to do with the standard that your AccessPoint |
| supports (A, B, G or a combination). |
| IEEE 802.11G devices can talk to IEEE 802.11B AccessPoints. |
| |
| It is safe to include both b43 and b43legacy as the underlying glue |
| layer will automatically load the correct version for your device. |
| |
| This driver uses V4 firmware, which must be installed separately using |
| b43-fwcutter. |
| |
| This driver can be built as a module (recommended) that will be called "b43". |
| If unsure, say M. |

| Broadcom 43xx PCMCIA device support. |
| |
| Support for 16bit PCMCIA devices. |
| Please note that most PC-CARD devices are _NOT_ 16bit PCMCIA |
| devices, but 32bit CardBUS devices. CardBUS devices are supported |
| out of the box by b43. |
| |
| With this config option you can drive b43 cards in |
| CompactFlash formfactor in a PCMCIA adaptor. |
| CF b43 cards can sometimes be found in handheld PCs. |
| |
| It's safe to select Y here, even if you don't have a B43 PCMCIA device. |
| |
| If unsure, say N. |

| Include both, Direct Memory Access (DMA) and Programmed I/O (PIO) |
| data transfer modes. |
| The actually used mode is selectable through the module |
| parameter "pio". If the module parameter is pio=0, DMA is used. |
| Otherwise PIO is used. DMA is default. |
| |
| If unsure, choose this option. |
| |
| config B43_DMA_MODE |
| bool "DMA (Direct Memory Access) only" |
| select B43_DMA |
| ---help--- |
| Only include Direct Memory Access (DMA). |
| This reduces the size of the driver module, by omitting the PIO code. |
| |
| config B43_PIO_MODE |
| bool "PIO (Programmed I/O) only" |
| select B43_PIO |
| ---help--- |
| Only include Programmed I/O (PIO). |
| This reduces the size of the driver module, by omitting the DMA code. |
| Please note that PIO transfers are slow (compared to DMA). |
| |
| Also note that not all devices of the 43xx series support PIO. |
| The 4306 (Apple Airport Extreme and others) supports PIO, while |
| the 4318 is known to _not_ support PIO. |
| |
| Only use PIO, if DMA does not work for you. |
