[PATCH] b43: update PHY descriptions in Kconfig

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add lists of chipsets, so people can enable support for their device
easier (at least after checking lspci).

 	  The LP-PHY is a low-power PHY built into some notebooks
