Your description of the problem is not terribly coherent, thus I will be 
requesting some more information.

DMA should be supported. It certainly works on my PowerBook G4 with a ppc32 
processor. I expect that a MacBook 7.1 has an Intel processor. If not, please 
enlighted me.

I would like you to run the command 'dmesg > dmesg.txt' and post dmesg.txt on 
some site where I can read it.

The b43 devices are certainly slow as compared to modern devices, but the one on 
my PowerBook certainly works.
