+ 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.
