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

[deek]

I've been hiding in the shadows for awhile reading about how things are going with the iwi3945. Do you need any more testers giving feedback is everyone set?

[Ruud]

he jalavoui, these are the log of the new 4965 rel 827, it looks like what you did worked, i get less error at the begin of the log

actually, i dont see any errors for the iwi driver in my log

only thing i see now when looking in system.log is that its in a loop with this:

[deek]

Go out from the shadows and begin testing mannnnnn!!!! Here i have attached the lastest kext...

I'll do my best but I have run into some non iwi3945 issues upon an upgrade that I'm sorting though as well but I will post any successes I get.

I think it need a subtopic for 3945...having some users working in it now, and need share information to try some good info about this.

iwi3945 rel 825
i only want to see good logs on this - yes this is for 3945 cards smile.gif
don't bother posting logs with errors

wrong pengin

iwi4965 r827, log and kext attached

@developers:
Is there any specific duration you want us to log for? I only take the first five minutes or so.
The latest revision results in a lower number of log events, for some reason.

edit: the kext is fine, but I just realized I didn't perform the testing procedures properly. "oops"
Anyhow, I'll try to get it right the on the next revision.

Hi,
I am new at this driver testing and developing, i downloaded xcode, and got a copy of the 4965 svn v827, and built it and installed the kext, but my logs do not seem right.
If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

Eric

@myself108...

Your log is asking you to do this:
Apr 24 20:51:04 erics-mac-pro kernel[0]: goto system preferences -> networks and press apply if you keep seeing this

When you see that pop up do just like it asks go to your system preferences, then networks and then whatever connection is there and hit apply in order for the logging to continue, you are on the right track

Thank you for the kext! Testing is now possible for me

Thank you!

Jalavoui,
i was going over iwi3945.cpp, it and found this:
{
const char * model = "3945 ABG";
/*if ((fPCIDevice->configRead16(kIOPCIConfigDeviceID) == 0x4223) ||
(fPCIDevice->configRead16(kIOPCIConfigDeviceID) == 0x4224))
{
model = "2915 ABG";
};*/
That got me thinking about my device ids, so I went to check them in windows
and this is what I found:

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4222&SUBSYS_10008086&REV_02
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4222&SUBSYS_10008086
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4222&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4222&CC_0280

I know its a multiline comment, but shouldn't 0x4222 be included as well?
If not, sorry to bother with my comments...

[hypnotic]

jalavoui
could you please edit you first message and post all we need and instructions about building source files and may also about loading kext files.
or just could you add 'how to' section on iwidarwin page ?
so maybe new comers could find instructions needed easily.
and find out where do they make mistake when taking logs.
thanks.

When you see that pop up do just like it asks go to your system preferences, then networks and then whatever connection is there and hit apply in order for the logging to continue, you are on the right track

I tried that and have also tried rebooting after pressing apply, after i build the kext in xcode how should i be going about installing it and obtaining the logs, so know that i am doing that correctly.

That did the trick, sorry for the stupid question... here is my new 4965 r827 log

You all should understand that the drivers (3945 and 4965) are still in develop phase, so DON'T EXPECT TO HAVE A NETWORK CONNECTION YET.

YOU ARE GOING TO GET FREEZES OR KERNEL PANNICS.... so be sure you know what are you doing

Basic steps to create and test your new driver are:

- Get Xcode... It's on the Leopard DVD o you can download from Apple
- Get the driver code.. from snv... (google it or search the thread)
- Build it.
- Copy the fresh new kext to a folder (never to /library/extension)
- Chage permision (chmod and chown bla bla bla)
- Start log capture (more info on the iwi proyect page)
- Load the kext manualy (sudo kextload )
- See what happend...
- Reboot
- Start caputre
- Load the kext
- See what happendReview the log... and if you find something new/important post the logs and the info you get.

There is a good post from pere with a bit more of information and snv script http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...t&p=721057)

If you don't know what I'm talking about in any of the steps..... you are not going to help.

Keep waiting for the driver to be finish...something between 10 days and 10 years..

Currently the develop people is trying to get the card init without errors...

We are all excited to se a working driver, but belive me... this post is not for newbies...

I know its a multiline comment, but shouldn't 0x4222 be included as well?
If not, sorry to bother with my comments...

Pa28cr,

I have review my card and it's

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4227&SUBSYS_10118086&REV_02
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4227&SUBSYS_10118086
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4227&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4227&CC_0280

so 4277


Pere, Mlazy, Doctadre, righteye....May you post your Dev ID so you can get to know if this can be the problem on the init ?

Jalavoi... this could be the root of the init problem...
