b43: LP-PHY: Remove BROKEN from B43_PHY_LP
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Larry has reported success getting scan data with an LP-PHY device,
so it's probably time to release LP-PHY support for testing.

Also disable 802.11a support for now, as 802.11a currently causes
the driver to panic on startup (NULL pointer dereference).

Support for the LP-PHY.
The LP-PHY is an IEEE 802.11g based PHY built into some notebooks
and embedded devices.

THIS IS BROKEN AND DOES NOT WORK YET.
The LP-PHY is a low-power PHY built into some notebooks
and embedded devices. It supports 802.11a/g
(802.11a support is optional, and currently disabled).

SAY N.
This is heavily experimental, and probably will not work for you.
Say N unless you want to help debug the driver.

# This config option automatically enables b43 LEDS support,
# if it's possible.
