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.

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.

|
|
|
|
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.
