 	/* The specs call for 4K buffers for 30- and 32-bit DMA with 4K
-	 * alignment and 8K buffers for 64-bit DMA with 8K alignment. Testing
-	 * has shown that 4K is sufficient for the latter as long as the buffer
-	 * does not cross an 8K boundary.
-	 *
-	 * For unknown reasons - possibly a hardware error - the BCM4311 rev
-	 * 02, which uses 64-bit DMA, needs the ring buffer in very low memory,
-	 * which accounts for the GFP_DMA flag below.
-	 *
-	 * The flags here must match the flags in free_ringmemory below!
+	 * alignment and 8K buffers for 64-bit DMA with 8K alignment.
+	 * In practice we could use smaller buffers for the latter, but the
+	 * alignment is really important because of the hardware bug. If bit
+	 * 0x00001000 is used in DMA address, some hardware (like BCM4331)
+	 * copies that bit into B43_DMA64_RXSTATUS and we get false values from
+	 * B43_DMA64_RXSTATDPTR. Let's just use 8K buffers even if we don't use
+	 * more than 256 slots for ring.
