| 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. | |

| 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. | |

| Broadcom 43xx debugging. | |
| This adds additional runtime sanity checks and statistics to the driver. | |
| These checks and statistics might be expensive and hurt the 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. |
