Intel Wireless 2100, 2200bg, 2915bg, 3945abg, 4965agn, IWIDarwin drivers for mac os x 10.4 and 10.5 *under development* Options

[adamluz]

I tried to install using DMZ and kext. No matter what i try it shows up as ethernet in my preference's. When I use the network program provided it seems the options don't do anything. no errors, no confirmations, nothing. I have attached a screen cap of terminal running the network program along with my preferences and a display of my kext.

Hey, great work on the 3945 driver! Keep the ball rolling, this is going to mean a huge deal to the osx86 project as a whole..

Quick side note, I noticed the latest SVN for iwi2200.dmg for 10.5 changed to rev. 803, so uninstalled the previous and gave it a try. Worked great this time, no manual permission changes needed. nsGUI still doesn't load at startup as it previously did, but running it from the Applications folder does the trick (I'm sure there is an easy way to make apps load on boot in OS X). I input my WEP key in hex xx:xx:xx:xx:etc format, and all is working perfectly. I swear this driver is working MUCH faster than before, you guys have done great with this. Keep it up, happy to witness all the talent being put into the project.

Jalavoui:

There's a bug in the iwl3945 driver. Sometimes the driver can't wake up the card properly and you have to reboot to make it work. It takes from one to even 10 reboots to make the driver work.

The linux version of the driver outputs the following if the card doesn't initialize:

CODE

Apr 21 01:51:43 q kernel: iwl3945: MAC is in deep sleep!
Apr 21 01:51:43 q kernel: iwl3945: Unable to int nic

and the following if the card initializes properly:

CODE

iwl3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection driver for Linux, 1.1.17ks
iwl3945: Copyright(c) 2003-2007 Intel Corporation
iwl3945: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
iwl3945: Tunable channels: 13 802.11bg, 23 802.11a channels

Thats why you get different results from different people.

I hope that helps!

ps: I have downloaded the Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD but it doesn't have xcode in it... Can I download it from somewhere else or do I need to get another DVD image? I'll search the forums about it later [@ work right now... ]

Wirednet, Go to http://developer.apple.com/tools/download/ and download xcode 3.0 for Leopard and go on...

Yeah I tried that but it wants username/password and I don't feel like registering at Apple...
I guess I'll have to find it elsewhere

[Miguel Madrid]

Wirednet,

You can register for free.... and then download xcode...I did it a few days ago

You will also need snv to keep track of the source code changes

Too late... its a torrent world... heheh

Subversion is not a problem, I use it everyday @ work =)

Easter is coming, I wanna take advantage of the (limited...) work-free days to check out the code, maybe help a bit, who knows

Thanks y'all

hi, I also downloaded from apple site. was ok. and much faster than torrents, but it's the same. just keep in mind that you need almost 3 GB free space to install. (that's why i'm waitin for new ubuntu rel (tomorrow) to format again and give more room to hackintosh!)

easter is coming??? where do you live man? here it has been the 23 of march!!!

ciao!

Well its almost done now... Space is the real issue since my Mac partition is only 10 gb (actually it was my old linux test partition heheh). Seems I'll have to do some volume resizing...

I live in Athens, Greece (Orthodox) Easter day is on the 27th of April here!

iwi3945 rel 804
fixed kp
try a few reboot if you get errors in logs

wow! so have a nice easter!! (I mean, like in every parts of the world, you're gonna eat a lot of good things, is it?)

I have to say this: my pc has a big partition with ubuntu, than windows virtualized just for ACAD and 3DSMAX, than another partition (that is going to grow, thanks to all the people developing hackintosh!) for macOSX. If I only needed bsd...

I think is good to have all the chance!!!

ehmm.. sorry everybody for the OT!!

Build 804

Javalui added alot of new things!!

No KP, No freezes (just when try to manually unload with the console).
No errors on manual load or Reboot.
Did 4 tests, manual load, manual add to network interfaces (didnt do auto), reboot with switch OFF, reboot switch ON, ( on the last one the card keeps scanning soooo much before load the system).

pere,
nice logs
looks like you know how to make the card work

this can be so easy to fix:
pr 23 16:41:35 Pere kernel[0]: iwl3945: U iwl3945_init_channel_map Ch. 4 [2.4GHz] IBSS ACTIVE WIDE (0x2b 15dBm): Ad-Hoc supportediwl3945: U iwl3945_mac_open Wait START_ALIVE Condition: 0ms left\
Apr 23 16:41:35 Pere kernel[0]: iwl3945: U iwl3945_mac_open Wait for START_ALIVE timeout after 2000ms.\
Apr 23 16:41:35 Pere kernel[0]: iwl3945: U iwl3945_mac_open leave - failed\
this means the driver as to wait just a litle bit for the card to finish alive_start
i also need to have another way to start a scan - need a better hack

iwi3945
check if you can get this in log: SCAN_COMPLETE_NOTIFICATION
you only get this if you manage to load the driver without errors
the svn is down
copy this files to iwi3945 folder and build
don't worry with the warnings - it's ok
and please try to help with the code
if i add the card i can make this driver work in 1/2 days
if you get a kp - it will be in this call:
iwl_scan(priv);
can you try other ways to make this work?

Javalui, i have found this:
The first time i use iwi3945.xcodeproj from inside the downloaded folder, it give me some compile errors (attached), the i go to the build folder, erase the kext and build again, then it gives no errors, this is the kext i use...
Im usin xcode from apple, leopard 10.5.2.

Here is my kext too.

No errors on manual load or Reboot.
Did 4 tests, manual load, manual add to network interfaces (didnt do auto), reboot with switch OFF, reboot switch ON, ( on the last one the card keeps scanning soooo much before load the system).

Can somebody explain (Pere) how to manually:

1) load the kext: like this?

CODE

/sbin/kextload /[PATH]/iwi3945.kext

2) add the interface.

What steps do you go through exactly?


So more people can produce clean logs...

CHeers, Tyn

[pere]

My log from manual svn...
This time no scans and i found one error:
error iwl3945: Error sending REPLY_BT_CONFIG: time out after 500ms.

Im going to explain how i do, hope is ok and hope help others...

New logs: booted with -x, manually started kext. Much different results. Been comparing my logs to that linux log of yours , and this line is totally new, and matches linux:Apr 23 12:14:22 Sony kernel[0]: IOPCCard info: iwl3945: Tunable channels: 11 802.11bg, 13 802.11a channels.

very cool.

my first 2 errors are:

I wonder why I can't get a complete load like Pere. Off to more testing.
