BCM43xx Linux Driver Project | ||
============================ | ||
|
||
About this software | ||
------------------- | ||
|
||
The goal of this project is to develop a linux driver for Broadcom | ||
BCM43xx chips, based on the specification at | ||
http://bcm-specs.sipsolutions.net/ | ||
|
||
The project page is http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/ | ||
|
||
|
||
Requirements | ||
------------ | ||
|
||
1) Linux Kernel 2.6.16 or later | ||
http://www.kernel.org/ | ||
|
||
You may want to configure your kernel with: | ||
|
||
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS (optional): | ||
-> Kernel hacking | ||
-> Debug Filesystem | ||
|
||
2) SoftMAC IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack extension and patched ieee80211 | ||
modules: | ||
http://softmac.sipsolutions.net/ | ||
|
||
3) Firmware Files | ||
|
||
Please try fwcutter. Fwcutter can extract the firmware from various | ||
binary driver files. It supports driver files from Windows, MacOS and | ||
Linux. You can get fwcutter from http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/. | ||
Also, fwcutter comes with a README file for further instructions. |

config BCM43XX_DMA_AND_PIO_MODE | ||
bool "DMA + PIO" | ||
select BCM43XX_DMA | ||
select BCM43XX_PIO | ||
---help--- | ||
Include both, Direct Memory Access (DMA) and Programmed I/O (PIO) | ||
data transfer modes. | ||
The actually used mode is selectable through the module | ||
parameter "pio". If the module parameter is pio=0, DMA is used. | ||
Otherwise PIO is used. DMA is default. | ||
|
||
If unsure, choose this option. | ||
|
||
config BCM43XX_DMA_MODE | ||
bool "DMA (Direct Memory Access) only" | ||
select BCM43XX_DMA | ||
---help--- | ||
Only include Direct Memory Access (DMA). | ||
This reduces the size of the driver module, by omitting the PIO code. | ||
|
||
config BCM43XX_PIO_MODE | ||
bool "PIO (Programmed I/O) only" | ||
select BCM43XX_PIO | ||
---help--- | ||
Only include Programmed I/O (PIO). | ||
This reduces the size of the driver module, by omitting the DMA code. | ||
Please note that PIO transfers are slow (compared to DMA). | ||
|
||
Also note that not all devices of the 43xx series support PIO. | ||
The 4306 (Apple Airport Extreme and others) supports PIO, while | ||
the 4318 is known to _not_ support PIO. | ||
|
||
Only use PIO, if DMA does not work for you. | ||
