1 config BCM43XX_MAC80211
2 tristate "Broadcom BCM43xx wireless support (mac80211 stack)"
3 depends on MAC80211 && WLAN_80211 && EXPERIMENTAL
8 This is an experimental driver for the Broadcom 43xx wireless chip,
9 found in the Apple Airport Extreme and various other devices.
11 config BCM43XX_MAC80211_PCI
12 bool "BCM43xx PCI device support"
13 depends on BCM43XX_MAC80211 && PCI
15 select SSB_DRIVER_PCICORE
18 Broadcom 43xx PCI device support.
20 Say Y, if you have a BCM43xx device connected through the PCI bus.
21 Please note that most PC-CARD devices are (to the kernel) PCI devices,
23 It's safe to select Y here, even if you don't have a BCM43xx PCI device.
25 config BCM43XX_MAC80211_PCMCIA
26 bool "BCM43xx PCMCIA device support"
27 depends on BCM43XX_MAC80211 && PCMCIA
30 Broadcom 43xx PCMCIA device support.
32 Support for 16bit PCMCIA devices.
33 Please note that most PC-CARD devices are _NOT_ 16bit PCMCIA
34 devices, but 32bit CardBUS devices. CardBUS devices are supported
35 by "BCM43xx PCI device support".
37 With this config option you can drive bcm43xx cards in
38 CompactFlash formfactor in a PCMCIA adaptor.
39 CF bcm43xx cards can sometimes be found in handheld PCs.
41 It's safe to select Y here, even if you don't have a BCM43xx PCMCIA device.
45 config BCM43XX_MAC80211_DEBUG
46 bool "Broadcom BCM43xx debugging (RECOMMENDED)"
47 depends on BCM43XX_MAC80211
48 select SSB_DEBUG if !SSB_SILENT
51 Broadcom 43xx debugging messages.
52 Say Y, because the driver is still very experimental and
53 this will help you get it running.
55 config BCM43XX_MAC80211_DMA
57 depends on BCM43XX_MAC80211
58 config BCM43XX_MAC80211_PIO
60 depends on BCM43XX_MAC80211
63 prompt "BCM43xx data transfer mode"
64 depends on BCM43XX_MAC80211
65 default BCM43XX_MAC80211_DMA_AND_PIO_MODE
67 config BCM43XX_MAC80211_DMA_AND_PIO_MODE
69 select BCM43XX_MAC80211_DMA
70 select BCM43XX_MAC80211_PIO
72 Include both, Direct Memory Access (DMA) and Programmed I/O (PIO)
74 The actually used mode is selectable through the module
75 parameter "pio". If the module parameter is pio=0, DMA is used.
76 Otherwise PIO is used. DMA is default.
78 If unsure, choose this option.
80 config BCM43XX_MAC80211_DMA_MODE
81 bool "DMA (Direct Memory Access) only"
82 select BCM43XX_MAC80211_DMA
84 Only include Direct Memory Access (DMA).
85 This reduces the size of the driver module, by omitting the PIO code.
87 config BCM43XX_MAC80211_PIO_MODE
88 bool "PIO (Programmed I/O) only"
89 select BCM43XX_MAC80211_PIO
91 Only include Programmed I/O (PIO).
92 This reduces the size of the driver module, by omitting the DMA code.
93 Please note that PIO transfers are slow (compared to DMA).
95 Also note that not all devices of the 43xx series support PIO.
96 The 4306 (Apple Airport Extreme and others) supports PIO, while
97 the 4318 is known to _not_ support PIO.
99 Only use PIO, if DMA does not work for you.
