b43legacy is a driver for 802.11b devices from Broadcom (BCM4301 and
BCM4303) and early model 802.11g chips (BCM4306 Ver. 2) used in the
Linksys WPC54G V1 PCMCIA devices.
Newer 802.11g and 802.11a devices need b43.
It is safe to include both b43 and b43legacy as the underlying glue
layer will automatically load the correct version for your device.
This driver uses V3 firmware, which must be installed separately using
b43-fwcutter.
This driver can be built as a module (recommended) that will be
called "b43legacy". If unsure, say M.

Say Y, because this information will help you get the driver running.
This option generates a minimum of log output.

Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
