little update about the apple80211.h:

so it's back to the drawing board and again to try and write a custom app to do the network changing.

my hope is that apple open the io80211 framework

until there we should find a way to build a interface for iwi drivers


iwi3945/iwi2100

i've seen in logs:

ifconfig up

there's no need to type this in console

the driver is not meant to be bring up in terminal with ifconfig

the enable() and disable() are called by the driver when needed


iwi2100 - rev 226

i've changed ipw2100_hw_send_command() to allow commands to be send

Mar 16 20:06:02 localhost kernel[0]: iwi3945: XXXL we have skipped command

can you try to find out why you're getting this message

this is a bug when sending commands to the card

i don't know why this happens

Ok, here is a part of my system.log:

Mar 17 17:14:00 localhost kernel[0]: iwi3945: ifconfig up

I use p_mode 1 for Ad-Hoc connection but can't connect to an open ad-hoc net.

Thanks!

i have a problem with the latest version of iwi2200. when i tried to install it, it says ''you cannot continue. there is nothing to install''. what should i do?

Download Pacifist and install the package into Default Location while using Pacifist...

Should make it work...

[salvatore]

same thing here

[salvatore]

No joy on the 3945, but you're getting closer. 'Airport' now shows up in the Network Port Configuration utility, whereas it did not up to this point. I cannot select it or otherwise configure it. Built In Ethernet and Built In Firewire are both still present as well and are fully configurable. I have not tried connecting via a wired connection yet.

Are there logs I can post that will be helpful for diagnosis?

[Glauber Lobo]

Jalavoui,

still crashing to me too.

mac os x 10.4.9 - kernel semthex 8.8.1 v9 SSE2 only.

please, continue your great work with iwi2200.kext.

thanks for your contribution to us. Is it possible for us to hardcode the ssid into the plist file instead of having a GUI?
most ppl here should feel comfortable of editing the plist.

Still no connection to my open wireless network.
My 2100 is recognized as an airport device (en1).
(Do I only have to install the new release or I need to delete stg before?)
New logs are attached.
BTW: I've removed IOBluetoothFamily.kext to disable BT - is it enough to avoid conflicts? BT icon is still there (jalavoui: you mentioned the driver manages BT as well so it's not a problem (?).

It is turning the wlan off but OS X doesn't know if it is on or off?

No.
Fn+F5 on my notebook turns on/off only BT - does not affect WLAN... in case of OSX.
So WLAN is always on with latest driver and BT can be switched if needed.
In other cases (eg. XP) this method works to turn both BT and WLAN on/off.

In network status window: Airport is turned on but is not connected to a network.

Thanks.

finally found something interesting...
as you may know i was searching for some kind of way that will enable me to take control of the driver
from the an outside application...
it seems like i found it, i'm trying to implement it now to the iwi2200 driver...
here is the link to what i'm trying to do: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/D..._section_2.html

I have just checked newest kext for 3945 and for some reason it cannot detect MAC address correctly. My notebook has wifi switch which is turned on all the time. Computer starts a bit slower, most like cause of 'MAC in deep sleep' messages popping out on screen while running with -s parameter. I've put my system.log for further developement. Hope to see working driver someday, keep up the good work

MAC OS 10.4.7 IBM T43 iwi2200

1. freezes when trying to download the Photoshop CS 3 beta ( finished about 240MB)

2.still freezes when there is no wireless network around.


But I am very happy!!

iwi2200

i finally start to understand the bug when dowloading a file (memory leak at 170M)

i run a test with my ethernet card. apparently when downloading a file, mac os x allocates memory and doesn't release it - this causes memory to decrease until mac os freezes

this can be seen using activity monitor

i think this is a kernel bug or maybe just my os x installation

can someone tell me if you're getting this bug with you cable card?

does this happen only with 10.4.8 kernel?

it seems all of us get the problem..
