From: Larry Finger Subject: b43: Allow switch to PIO without rebuilding kernel For b43, switching between DMA and PIO mode requires rebuilding the kernel. This situation is unfortunate as there are fatal DMA errors with the BCM4312 on some Netbook computers, and those units will only work with PIO mode. This patch enables the usage of PIO mode with a module-load parameter.
