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.

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.
