+ 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.
+

+ ---help---
+ Broadcom 43xx device support for Soft-MAC SDIO devices.
+
+ With this config option you can drive Soft-MAC b43 cards with a
+ Secure Digital I/O interface.
+ This includes the WLAN daughter card found on the Nintendo Wii
+ video game console.
+ Note that this does not support Broadcom 43xx Full-MAC devices.
+
+ It's safe to select Y here, even if you don't have a B43 SDIO device.
+
+ If unsure, say N.

+config B43_PHY_N
+ bool "Support for 802.11n (N-PHY) devices"
+ depends on B43
+ ---help---
+ Support for the N-PHY.
+
+ This enables support for devices with N-PHY.
+
+ Say N if you expect high stability and performance. Saying Y will not
+ affect other devices support and may provide support for basic needs.
+
+config B43_PHY_LP

+ ---help---
+ Support for the LP-PHY.
+ The LP-PHY is a low-power PHY built into some notebooks
+ and embedded devices. It supports 802.11a/b/g
+ (802.11a support is optional, and currently disabled).
+
+config B43_PHY_HT
+ bool "Support for HT-PHY (high throughput) devices"
+ depends on B43 && B43_BCMA
+ ---help---
+ Support for the HT-PHY.
+
+ Enables support for BCM4331 and possibly other chipsets with that PHY.
+
+config B43_PHY_LCN
+ bool "Support for LCN-PHY devices (BROKEN)"
+ depends on B43 && BROKEN
+ ---help---
+ Support for the LCN-PHY.
+
+ Say N, this is BROKEN and crashes driver.

+ 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.
