Jalavoui,

I did some testing last night... Changed all of the OSbundle Library version numbers in the project plist file to match my versions. I compiled 755, and it's been running for almost an hour. This *could* have fixed some of the freezing issues? Or am I just getting lucky?

Hi Mlazy, Jalavoui,

I follow your steps for testing, but nothing happen when i install the lastest rel of iwi3945.... ???
In fact, after installing, when i go to Pref->Network-> No ariport interface appears..

Jalavoui,Here is the output of your script.. seems to be a problem with the dmg build at the end. It's the same problem I had with you pkg script which is why I made my own a while back. I think it's a 10.4 vs. 10.5 thing. SOMEONE send him a mac that can run 10.5! (where are you located anyway?)

i have the same issue with the dmg script.
The xcode build doesn't provide me a DMG file although it builds perfectly without errors.
Trying to move the built kext to extensions(but it seems xcode automatically put it during the build), reboot >>> KP just after logged XD

i will try to get some logs wuith getlogs command

it may not work like that yet.

Just do a tail -f of your system log and post what you get. look to make sure there is info about iwi releated entries.

Hello all, I hope everyone is doing well today. Big up to mlazy and jalavoui for their hard work. When I get off the rounds today, I'll hook both of yall up with some paypal (not much as I still got some loans) and try to figure out how to get some logs.

Ive started to watch this thread on monday after getting sound to come out of my speakers on my laptop, but still no headphones, but at least I have sound, and started to move to figure out wifi. Im not a developer, a physician I am, but in college I spend my first two years in comp sci. I will gladly help this weekend, if there is anything I could do let me know. Running Kalyway 10.5.1 (its running fine i see no point to upgrade to 10.5.2)

fascinating, I wonder why you don't get these errors like I do:

i could see those differences but have no idea why this is happening. seems to be like on graphic cards, each one works different

Jalavoui: IMPORTANT! I booted with -x to get these log results. The driver loads, has just a few lines, and then waits. When I do a full boot and kextload manually I get tons of logs. Is something interfering with the driver? Safe boot (-x) loads OS only (kinda like 10.4's -s with /sh command.

mlazy, i used your last provided iwi3965.kext ... and in system.log i see "cannot resolve dependencies for kernel extension iwi3965.kext" ... (i have previously repaired permissions)

I downloaded iwi3945 r756 source, changed the plist values to match my OSbundles (based on what you did), and then built my kext.

I don't know if this made a difference ... but

If I don't put my kext in the extensions folder, unplug my ethernet cable, and boot normally then manually load the kext afterwards some of the attempts (show in dmesg) it finds my wireless LAN's SSID called 'CAH_WLAN' ... then a minute or so later I get a KP:

right. that's exactly how I'm testing right now as well. Try booting with -x and doing the same thing. see what your logs say then. and, try to fire up network selector and type 2 also, just for kicks.

You should disable Intel SpeedStep in BIOS to boot your laptops running on batteries. It's sure solution with T43, don't know about vaio.

omg. from what i have read teh 3945abg driver its almost done or am i wrong???

I tried iwi3945 r756 with safe mode (-x) boot but for me it seems I get the same results/logs as a normal boot (as described in my above post) when I do the manual load of kext. Anyway here are the logs from a safe mode boot where after I manually load the kext and it shows my SSID in dmesg, and then KP after a minute or two.

good thing - mac os x 10.5 uses option -x to autoload iwi3945.kext

about iwi3945.dmg
try this:
build iwi3945.xcodproj
them
manually place iwi3945.kext in iwi3945/system/library/extensions
and networkselector in iwi3945/application
open iwi3945.pmproj - if this only works for os x 10.4 save to 10.5 format
choose project->build
if this creates iwi3945.pkg them it works for os x 10.5
double click to see if installer gets called
them
delete iwi3945.dmg
open iwi3945.xcodeproj
press build -> should create iwi3945.dmg
open it
check if the file inside works (installer should get called)

if this works send me iwi3945.pmproj so i can add it to svn tree

info.plist
the versions inside this file are meant to be compatible with mac os x 10.5 SDK
leave it as it is

iwi3945 rel 757
this is another way to call scan - might work better
