I tried both just removing the comment and also changing it to "n". The compilation gives me: WARNING: "bcm43xx_pio_rx" [/opt/incoming/bcm43xx-softmac-sa/bcm43xx/bcm43xx.ko] undefined! WARNING: "bcm43xx_pio_handle_xmitstatus" [/opt/incoming/bcm43xx-softmac-sa/bcm43xx/bcm43xx.ko] undefined! WARNING: "bcm43xx_pio_init" [/opt/incoming/bcm43xx-softmac-sa/bcm43xx/bcm43xx.ko] undefined!

WARNING: "bcm43xx_pio_tx" [/opt/incoming/bcm43xx-softmac-sa/bcm43xx/bcm43xx.ko] undefined! And the module still fails to load as above. Want me to test more?
