          Only include Programmed I/O (PIO).
          This reduces the size of the driver module, by omitting the DMA code.
          Please note that PIO transfers are slow (compared to DMA).

+         Also note that not all devices of the 43xx series support PIO.
+         The 4306 (Apple Airport Extreme and others) supports PIO, while
+         the 4318 is known to _not_ support PIO.

          Only use PIO, if DMA does not work for you.
