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

63 select SSB_PCMCIAHOST
64 ---help---
65 Broadcom 43xx PCMCIA device support.
66
67 Support for 16bit PCMCIA devices.
68 Please note that most PC-CARD devices are _NOT_ 16bit PCMCIA
69 devices, but 32bit CardBUS devices. CardBUS devices are supported
70 out of the box by b43.
71
72 With this config option you can drive b43 cards in
73 CompactFlash formfactor in a PCMCIA adaptor.
74 CF b43 cards can sometimes be found in handheld PCs.
75
76 It's safe to select Y here, even if you don't have a B43 PCMCIA device.
77
78 If unsure, say N.

80 config B43_SDIO
81 bool "Broadcom 43xx SDIO device support"
82 depends on B43 && SSB_SDIOHOST_POSSIBLE
83 select SSB_SDIOHOST
84 ---help---
85 Broadcom 43xx device support for Soft-MAC SDIO devices.
86
87 With this config option you can drive Soft-MAC b43 cards with a
88 Secure Digital I/O interface.
89 This includes the WLAN daughter card found on the Nintendo Wii
90 video game console.
91 Note that this does not support Broadcom 43xx Full-MAC devices.
92
93 It's safe to select Y here, even if you don't have a B43 SDIO device.
94
95 If unsure, say N.
96
97 #Data transfers to the device via PIO. We want it as a fallback even
98 # if we can do DMA.

114 ---help---
115 Support for the N-PHY.
116
117 This enables support for devices with N-PHY.
118
119 Say N if you expect high stability and performance. Saying Y will not
120 affect other devices support and may provide support for basic needs.
121
122 config B43_PHY_LP
123 bool "Support for low-power (LP-PHY) devices"
124 depends on B43
125 default y
126 ---help---
127 Support for the LP-PHY.
128 The LP-PHY is a low-power PHY built into some notebooks
129 and embedded devices. It supports 802.11a/b/g
130 (802.11a support is optional, and currently disabled).
131
132 config B43_PHY_HT
133 bool "Support for HT-PHY (high throughput) devices"
134 depends on B43
135 ---help---
136 Support for the HT-PHY.
137
138 Enables support for BCM4331 and possibly other chipsets with that PHY.
139
140 config B43_PHY_LCN
141 bool "Support for LCN-PHY devices (BROKEN)"
142 depends on B43 && BROKEN
143 ---help---
144 Support for the LCN-PHY.
145
146 Say N, this is BROKEN and crashes driver.

163 bool "Broadcom 43xx debugging"
164 depends on B43
165 ---help---
166 Broadcom 43xx debugging.
167
168 This adds additional runtime sanity checks and statistics to the driver.
169 These checks and statistics might me expensive and hurt runtime performance
170 of your system.
171 This also adds the b43 debugfs interface.
172
173 Do not enable this, unless you are debugging the driver.
174
175 Say N, if you are a distributor or user building a release kernel
176 for production use.
177 Only say Y, if you are debugging a problem in the b43 driver sourcecode.
