| 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. |

| Support for the LP-PHY. |
| The LP-PHY is a low-power PHY built into some notebooks |
| and embedded devices. It supports 802.11a/g |
| (802.11a support is optional, and currently disabled). |
| |
| This is heavily experimental, and probably will not work for you. |
| Say N unless you want to help debug the driver. |

| This adds additional runtime sanity checks and statistics to the driver. |
| These checks and statistics might me expensive and hurt runtime performance |
| of your system. |
| This also adds the b43 debugfs interface. |
| |
| Do not enable this, unless you are debugging the driver. |
| |
| Say N, if you are a distributor or user building a release kernel |
| for production use. |
| Only say Y, if you are debugging a problem in the b43 driver sourcecode. |

| This will disable DMA and always enable PIO instead. |
| |
| Say N! |
| This is only for debugging the PIO engine code. You do |
| _NOT_ want to enable this. |
