I'm sure you're probably still in the process of uploading this but I noticed that the svn latest available for download from iwidarin is iwi3945r748. Is there a better place to get the latest or are you simply using a different revision terminology for the installs?
Anyway, your efforts will be rewarded by me for sure and I'm sure many others!

Ruud,
this log misses first load lines
but
i found a easy to fix bug

i'll upload a new version to svn

ok - lol version

iwi3945 rel 836
iwi4965 rel 837

try to get initial driver log lines (use kextload). i think sometimes the driver wants to work so fast that it loses the first lines - maybe in console -> system.log?

when i post a release here it's available in the svn tree - read some posts back to learn howto get it

Ruud,

but

well in one console im doing tail -f systemlog and in an other console kextload iwi4965.kext so what should i do to get those lines? i thought they should be in there when doing it this way.

[Raman148]

can someone tell me where can i get the latest svn for 4965?

i think i can help you guys out.

Jalavoui and Ruud,

Latest via manual kextload (836 for 3945) loads up, misses a bunch of init lines that are usualy there then loops, check it out. No KP though:

[jalavoui]

nice

the proble with 4965 is:
ieee80211_sta_start_scan(dev, (u8*)"<hidden>", sizeof("<hidden>"));
this is a hack for scanning that only does 1 scan
we need to find a way for this to work in a loop
i think it needs to be called in a diferent way
anyone can try to hack this?

the 3945 as a weird bug, in mlazy log
OUT iwl3945_alive_start _
this is called 2 times...

[Ruud]

ooke here is my log 837 iwi 4965 still no initial log line.. strange im using kextload...but the bug that give ERROR: AP's dont scan is gone :)have to go now.. i'm back within two hours

he jalavoui, tomorrow evening I could take a look at that code.. (Yeah I know, im borring tomorrow for not going out and drink some beers )I would have to read my c++ books for it because im not that good in c++, but i will give it a shot.

iwi4965 rel 838
after the driver loads and finish first scan
use networkselector option 2 to start a new scan
see if it's called in system.log
wait for it to finish
press 2 again

iwi3945 rel 839
looks like power stuff works for 4965 - must work in 3945
try a few reboots to check if the card works without errors

iwi4965 rel 840
pci stuff - maybe this is important for 3945

can some one explain howto use /where to find network selector for 4965? never used it before

[jalavoui]

iwi4965
i'll disable networkselector in next release
the problem is the scan start
i'll try a hack


iwi4965 rel 841
might get a kp while starting the scan
the goal here is to make the driver run the scan in a loop
and get scan_complete in logs

[mlazy]

Jalavoui,

840 logs:

I get

Apr 25 16:00:09 Sony kernel[0]: request scan - diabled!

when I use netselector.

Ok got the kp.. but it does somethings more,,

just tell you what i see that wasnt before:

iwl4965: U iwl4965_get_channels_for_scan Scanning 1 [ACTIVE 20] this line for scanning till scan 11 next the same line scanning 12 and 13 but then [PASSIVE 120]

the last line is

timei 7000 timei2 -102774399

no scan complete notification

[pere]

Hi!,
I have come right now from job, begin testing with a sandwith on my mouth, have read the lastest post, so much work.
Post in 10 minutes.

If you need me to try any hack, please tell me wich and where.

[mlazy]

Hey all,

841 test logs. Things are looking amazing again. For 3945, scan is running on kextload, is that right again?

keep getting:

Apr 25 16:27:07 Sony kernel[0]: iwl3945: U iwl3945_enqueue_hcmd Sending command REPLY_RXON (#10), seq: 0x0402, 48 bytes at 2[2]:4

Similar to logs from this morning. BUT, all my init lines are back!

scan without kp

mlazy,
the driver isn't working - all cmds timeout
while you get this the driver fail.
try to change this
queue_work(priv->workqueue, &priv->up); // maybe kp here
to
//queue_work(priv->workqueue, &priv->up); // maybe kp here
