   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.

  48         ---help---
  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.
  61
  62           If unsure, say N.

  82           Say Y, if you want to find out why the driver does not
  83           work for you.

 102           Include both, Direct Memory Access (DMA) and Programmed I/O (PIO)
 103           data transfer modes.
 104           The actually used mode is selectable through the module
 105           parameter "pio". If the module parameter is pio=0, DMA is used.
 106           Otherwise PIO is used. DMA is default.
 107
 108           If unsure, choose this option.
 109
 110 config B43_DMA_MODE
 111         bool "DMA (Direct Memory Access) only"
 112         select B43_DMA
 113         ---help---
 114           Only include Direct Memory Access (DMA).
 115           This reduces the size of the driver module, by omitting the PIO code.
 116
 117 config B43_PIO_MODE
 118         bool "PIO (Programmed I/O) only"
 119         select B43_PIO
 120         ---help---
 121           Only include Programmed I/O (PIO).
 122           This reduces the size of the driver module, by omitting the DMA code.
 123           Please note that PIO transfers are slow (compared to DMA).
 124
 125           Also note that not all devices of the 43xx series support PIO.
 126           The 4306 (Apple Airport Extreme and others) supports PIO, while
 127           the 4318 is known to _not_ support PIO.
 128
 129           Only use PIO, if DMA does not work for you.
