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.

It's rather an enhancement that should be merged in the upstream. The golden rule still applies: the upstream first. Care to send your patch to the subsystem ML / maintainer? thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
