8 | b43 is a driver for the Broadcom 43xx series wireless devices. | ||
9 | |||
10 | Check "lspci" for something like | ||
11 | "Broadcom Corporation BCM43XX 802.11 Wireless LAN Controller" | ||
12 | to determine whether you own such a device. | ||
13 | |||
14 | This driver supports the new BCM43xx IEEE 802.11G devices, but not | ||
15 | the old IEEE 802.11B devices. Old devices are supported by | ||
16 | the b43legacy driver. | ||
17 | Note that this has nothing to do with the standard that your AccessPoint | ||
18 | supports (A, B, G or a combination). | ||
19 | IEEE 802.11G devices can talk to IEEE 802.11B AccessPoints. | ||
20 | |||
21 | It is safe to include both b43 and b43legacy as the underlying glue | ||
22 | layer will automatically load the correct version for your device. | ||
23 | |||
24 | This driver uses V4 firmware, which must be installed separately using | ||
25 | b43-fwcutter. | ||
26 | |||
27 | This driver can be built as a module (recommended) that will be called "b43". | ||
28 | If unsure, say M. | ||

49 | Broadcom 43xx PCMCIA device support. | ||
50 | |||
51 | Support for 16bit PCMCIA devices. | ||
52 | Please note that most PC-CARD devices are _NOT_ 16bit PCMCIA | ||
53 | devices, but 32bit CardBUS devices. CardBUS devices are supported | ||
54 | out of the box by b43. | ||
55 | |||
56 | With this config option you can drive b43 cards in | ||
57 | CompactFlash formfactor in a PCMCIA adaptor. | ||
58 | CF b43 cards can sometimes be found in handheld PCs. | ||
59 | |||
60 | It's safe to select Y here, even if you don't have a B43 PCMCIA device. | ||

91 | data transfer modes. | ||
92 | The actually used mode is selectable through the module | ||
93 | parameter "pio". If the module parameter is pio=0, DMA is used. | ||
94 | Otherwise PIO is used. DMA is default. | ||

110 | This reduces the size of the driver module, by omitting the DMA code. | ||
111 | Please note that PIO transfers are slow (compared to DMA). | ||
112 | |||
113 | Also note that not all devices of the 43xx series support PIO. | ||
114 | The 4306 (Apple Airport Extreme and others) supports PIO, while | ||
115 | the 4318 is known to _not_ support PIO. | ||
116 | |||
117 | Only use PIO, if DMA does not work for you. | ||
