this will prevent the "build" folder to be uploaded to the svn tree
can you guys fix this in next release?

TNW,

maybe you'd like to use iwl-1.2.23 source from symuc's?
i think it's quite easy to use this sources

[TNW]

Yes i will take a look
by the way fine source ,Symuc

[jalavoui]

orry to be a noob here but what is Xcode and how can I help?

you need xcode to build the source code and test the drivers
get it from apple (i think it's about 1GB download)

we'll be posting new versions for testing

[arob92]

i just downloaded xcode....what can i do to help for 2200

[jalavoui]

http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/

i've updated iwidarwin with links to latest svn test versions

please note that some versions aren't available yet for downloading

symuc, tnw
can you commit a .dmg - we have lot's of people here for testing
there's some bugs related with the "build" folder that doesn't allow to update the "trunk" - please fix it


TNW, the only dmg for 10.5 at this time is your version. can you build a iwi2200.dmg and commit?

arob92, you can try to build it and find some bugs - post test versions/result here

[TNW]

I'm not sure but ipw2200 has a dmg and Symuc driver is the same as last for the moment ...

[jalavoui]

i've take a look at the mac80211 code - don't really like it

what do you think about it? Symuc, TNW

[Symuc]

I assume you're referring to the iwl3945-airport10.5 code I just checked in. The goal is to ultimately have a start() and probe() routine that simply calls the corresponding start() or probe() routine in iwl3945-base.c. Right now I'm working on getting the glue together. Do you not think it's a good approach, then? Or would you rather less emphasis be placed on keeping the number of patches to upstream drivers down to a minimum?

[elpelas]

whats up with the 4965 for leo?

[Joeandmat]

Hi symuc! i'm happy that you are here to do the iwi3945 driver with TNW and jalavoui!
Entire world thanks you guys for your hard work!
Thank YOU!

Hi, I've downloaded sources from SVN (iwi2200 Leo version)

I have 3 errors when XCode3 is compiling project (all from networkSelector):

(in structure sockaddr_ctl definition:)
/usr/include/sys/kern_control.h:138: error: 'u_char' does not name a type
/usr/include/sys/kern_control.h:139: error: 'u_char' does not name a type


/Users/tereska/Documents/iwi2200X/networkSelector/2200/net/ieee80211.h:1527: error: 'OSSwapLittleToHostInt16' was not declared in this scope
(which is defined in defines.h --> OSByteOrder.h)

There are some other errors but they are child of errors above.

I must change u_char to different data type? (which one?) and why is OSSwapLittleToHostInt16 not declared function (in which scope is defined)?

After compilation I have DMG file (only drivers without networkSelector and NSGui)

Tonight I will check these drivers. I could only check if LEO will hang after installation and after reboot. If that will be OK i try with networkSellector from other packages from iwiProjectSite.

PS I have KALY LEO 10.5.1

[TNW]

WHat guys is waiting for iwi3945 that works ?

[xghost]

I tested the iwi2200.dmg posted by Tereska.
Since NetworkSelector and nsGUI are not included nothing really happened, but at least there was no kernel panic or something like that.
Leo booted smooth as ever and I couldn't recognize any other problems.

btw my version is kalyway leopard 10.5.1 efi

[Tereska]

Thanks. now build is fine.

[arob92]

i am waiting for the 2200 to work does anyone know how far along it is???

[OldSchool-c-]

Tested TNW version of iwi2200.

No KP but when i try to switch on the device, nsGUI hang and don't switch on anything.

But i thing that the way is right.....

Thanks for all yours work...

[TNW]

Can you post the log please ? thank's

[Tereska]

I've also tested TNW build but extension don't want to load message pops up after reboot.
I've cp kext file to System/Library/Extensions then diskutil repairPermissions / and delete extensions cache then reboot...

I've builded 592 repo from SVN and the results are the same.

What could be wrong?
