| 8 | b43 is a driver for the Broadcom 43xx series wireless devices. | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | Check "lspci" for something like | |
| 11 | "Broadcom Corporation BCM43XX 802.11 Wireless LAN Controller" | |
| 12 | to determine whether you own such a device. | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | This driver supports the new BCM43xx IEEE 802.11G devices, but not | |
| 15 | the old IEEE 802.11B devices. Old devices are supported by | |
| 16 | the b43legacy driver. | |
| 17 | Note that this has nothing to do with the standard that your AccessPoint | |
| 18 | supports (A, B, G or a combination). | |
| 19 | IEEE 802.11G devices can talk to IEEE 802.11B AccessPoints. | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | It is safe to include both b43 and b43legacy as the underlying glue | |
| 22 | layer will automatically load the correct version for your device. | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | This driver uses V4 firmware, which must be installed separately using | |
| 25 | b43-fwcutter. | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | This driver can be built as a module (recommended) that will be called "b43". | |
| 28 | If unsure, say M. | |

| 50 | Broadcom 43xx PCMCIA device support. | |
| 51 | ||
| 52 | Support for 16bit PCMCIA devices. | |
| 53 | Please note that most PC-CARD devices are _NOT_ 16bit PCMCIA | |
| 54 | devices, but 32bit CardBUS devices. CardBUS devices are supported | |
| 55 | out of the box by b43. | |
| 56 | ||
| 57 | With this config option you can drive b43 cards in | |
| 58 | CompactFlash formfactor in a PCMCIA adaptor. | |
| 59 | CF b43 cards can sometimes be found in handheld PCs. | |
| 60 | ||
| 61 | It's safe to select Y here, even if you don't have a B43 PCMCIA device. | |
