Cool stuff!!! I can't load the kext won't let me! hope this will be working soon

[truongsg]

not kernel panic but nothing happend. Networkselector is not working anymore. Where I take log file?

[Gahca]

"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)

(iatkos 10.5.2)"

I'm having this same problem. I also have the same kernel version as you. This is weird because I was able to load the 755 kext last night but now when I try and load the 756 or 757, I get that error messge. :S

I wonder whats wrong...

[mlazy]

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



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

Jalavoui,

Still no luck on your instructions, got this:

 Picture_1.png ( 30.58K ) Number of downloads: 108


BUT, I went into your interface editor within package maker and noticed the readme file pointed to /var/tmp/iwi3945/readme.rtf. I re-pointed it to the file in the 757 folder, and the .pkg built fine! still no dmg when I run the xcode project though.

r756 (provided by mlazy .. thanks ! now kext loads

here is a summary

- KP on boot
- reboot in safe mode (-x)
- sudo kextload iwi3965.kext >>> loaded successfully
- then system mount the en0 interface (sigh!) with garbaged Mac Address
- And Now (even if interface is sucked) networkSelector can be launched (but doesn't work because my WLAN hardware is not found )


It seems the driver mount a virtual interface (en0) without probing my WLAN hardware ... strange no ?

I read that WLAN must be detected as en1 to get a chance to make it working ... how can i do that ?

This revision crashes the system on load in normal mode.
On boot with -x then load the kext ... same thing.
On boot with -s then load the kext i could get this logs before KP.

iwi3945 r757

Normal mode or safe mode (-x) boot, then manual load of kext, results in KP within 10 seconds.

My system.log is attached (r757 does still see the SSID).

Hello,

757 throws an immediate hard freeze for me. crappy iphone picture attached because it never wrote to the log file.

My logs are essentially the same as Chris_H

[FurmanSK]

Jalavoui did you not see my post with the image of the error? I posted last night. But what i ended up doing was using kext loader to load the kext it built and everything seems to work. Except for mode 1 Adhoc. Don't know about mode 3. Can i still get logs even if it freezes up when i change to mode to and turn on?

Alright just tried to go into mode 1. Ok it turns on fine but when you connect to a SSID it freezes. I'll try to reboot and get logs. Don't know if it will help.

[jalavoui]

FurmanSK,
better use default mode - others are bogus

iwi3945 rel 758
to start scanning wait for the driver to load and use networkselector option 2 to scan
do this if the driver loads without errors
check if you can use this option several times (open system.log first)
previous logs show that scan starts - need to make scan call return

WAIT!

last log shows SCAN_COMPLETE_NOTIFICATION

do you get this without having a kp?
well - ok test this one and check if you get this line in log

next step is make the driver get this:
ieee80211_send_probe_req
this means that the scan is done and a request to associate to a network was made

iwi3945 rel 759
i think there's a bug in scan call
this might fix it

Hey! you need to post logs before i post new releases

iwi3945 driver status
once i figure out how this works the driver will start associating to networks
get ready

[FurmanSK]

lol yeah i think i will. What do i need to enable to get hidden ssid's? And get this i run it in -s and load kext and run networkselector and works fine. Nothing KP's or crashes. Weird. Must be a graphical thing with network selector? don't know. Well couldn't be cause i ran it in terminal in desktop mode and still froze. Oh well i'll get some logs and up them and you let me know if anything happened k.

Thanks Man

Oh and did you figure out why i can't remove the old .dmg file in the iwi2200 folder to build a new one? It gives me that password error and doesn't build but if i leave the .dmg file in the folder it builds fine. Any thoughts? I posted a pic of it few post back check it out.

r578 testing:

Installed kext, it detected new internet. Moved Network selector into the network selector folder and it did not do anything, couldnt turn it on or off or start scanning

[imwithalwood]

Still running kext and it hasn't kP'd, over 15 mins. However In network interface it is still saying it's unplugged. After reboot network selector still does not work.

No KP, sees my card with enet2:

 3945enet.png ( 51.14K ) Number of downloads: 126


En0 is my Ehernet, En1 is my usb stick; all disconnected.

It seems to be in a loop looking at my base station. FYI, there are 5 networks near me, one is wide open. It only sees one of my base stations.

I ran network selector at 14:57:40 in the log file.

This version is very stable so far. Machine is running hot though. still no freeze or KP after 20 mins.

scratch my previous post, after 5 mins after rebooting again got a kp. Unfortunetly logs did not work so I guess I'm no help.

I feel really stupid asking this but I have to...

Whats the reason I get this when I try and load a kext...

kextload: extension /System/Library/Extensions/iwi3945.kext is not authentic (check ownership and permissions ; run with -t for details)

I loaded the 755 kext fine doing the same thing I always do...

chown -R root:wheel iwi3945.kext
chmod -R a+rx,u+w iwi3945.kext
kextload iwi3945.kext

Either there is something wrong or I'm missing something thats really small and obvious. Please help. lol

Hey, I run these:

sudo chown -R root:wheel iwi3945.kext
sudo chmod -R 755 iwi3945.kext
sudo kextload -t iwi3945.kext


works every time.
