I booted with -x.

Build the kext, kext_helper to install. Manual kextload.


Not sure if it makes any difference, but I have added the chunnan IOPCCard patch.


I haven't made any changes to 860. What timer hack would you like me to test?

Go to the file iwi3945-base.c and look into for

//IOSleep(750);//hack
ret = UCODE_READY_TIMEOUT;
while(!(test_bit(STATUS_READY, &priv->status))) {
IOSleep(1);
ret--;
if(ret==0)

Erase the two black slash in the begining, save,build again, test... and give us good news!!

I got fed up floundering about in the dark, so I've been working on getting 1.2.23 compiled with debug enabled on Linux.

After much faffing, rebuilding kernels etc. here's the result.

yes - i was asking for this since my 1st post
can you guys follow this example and do the same for 3945

this mean the scan complete and started a loop
nice


the Cxddev linux log is similar for 3945/4965
inspired by this i'm going to change the code
wait...

you can get a kp with this
i'm not shore if i write the same code for both versions - i'll see it in logs
try to get first drive log lines - very important in this release

He bobobear, can you tell me what you did to get your 02micro device installed? was ist only iopcifamily and iopccardfamily from chun nan, or somthing more


Sorry for OT, please pm me.

[BoboBear]

I've been trying 860 with and without the IOSleep(750) hack

Initially with hack in place.

IOSleep(750);//hack
ret = UCODE_READY_TIMEOUT;

log shows kextload from -x boot, followed by normal boots at 15:57 and 16:00

Lots of MicroCode errors with second normal boot, but log does mention starting indirect scans.

Manual scans from network_selector result in "Scan already in progress"



Removed hack

//IOSleep(750);//hack
ret = UCODE_READY_TIMEOUT;

-x boot at 16:05 followed by kextload, 16:18 normal reboot. Both show lots of Microcode errors again.

manual scan now starts scan.

Hope this helps.

HowTo build iwl3945/iwl4965 in Linux

You'll need the debian 2.6.22 kernel and source - I couldn't get it to work with ubuntu or newer versions.

CODE

           sudo aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r` linux-source-2.6.22
        
           #Unpack the source in /usr/src
           cd /usr/src
           sudo tar jxf linux-source-2.6.22.tar.bz2
        
           #Link modules directory to the source
           sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.22 /lib/modules/`uname -r`/source
        
           #Get the iwl source
           wget http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-1.2.23.tgz
           tar zxf iwlwifi-1.2.23.tgz
           cd iwlwifi-1.2.23
           make
        
           #Get and install firmware
           wget http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-3945-ucode-2.14.1.5.tgz
           tar zxf iwlwifi-3945-ucode-2.14.1.5.tgz
           sudo cp iwlwifi-3945-ucode-2.14.1.5/iwlwifi-3945.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode
        
           #Load module with debug enabled
           sudo modprobe mac80211
           sudo insmod ./iwlwifi-1.2.23/compatible/iwl3945.ko debug=0x43fff

Incidentally, the Linux driver confirms that UCODE_READY_TIMEOUT = 2000ms

[jalavoui]

pere,
try a iosleep to fix that
or comment this line
tasklet_enable(&local->tasklet);

iwi4965 rel 864
the driver wants to send a pakcet
maybe you get a kp

Oke log for 864 IWI 4965, the system.txt is the log for the one using kextload... will post a second log in a min, from booting with the kext installed... ooh i get a scan complete in the system.txt log

Apr 27 18:10:19 Mac-Pro kernel[0]: ieee80211_scan_completed

ooh and using network selector, starting a scan only worked one time,, after dat i got configuration error

Apr 27 18:11:39 Mac-Pro kernel[0]: error iwl4965: Error setting new configuration (-60).

when starting a new scan again

and got a KP when booting with the kext installed

Damn, that KP destroyed something important... Can't boot anymore and have to rëinstall again.. Will install now with a leo4all disk, maybe somthing different with the kext than the kalyway I used this time, and get other test results. Im back within two hours

First reboot gives me freeze, second is ok

Attach logs and freeze shot

After manual switching off and on scan gives me errors like this:

both driver will try to start scanning within a 3 seconds delay
all you have to do is check whats going on in logs

iwi3945 rel 865
iwi4965 rel 866

[nordix]

iwi3945, rel 865

First time - KP on reboot (shot attached), then ok, w/o any freeze

Scanning all the time, even without networkSelector. Is it normal?

looks like yor card wants to associate to a network

[Z00L]

Hi all
First of all, let me thank you for you hard working in making this drivers(kexts) to work.

I understand you are atm, much more occupied with iwi3945 and iwi4965 but if anyone could give me a hand with iwi2200 it would be much appreciated.

I can get the kext loaded fine, but after selecting my WiFi, it's always get stuck while getting an IP Address

I've tried with wep secured, no password at all, in mixed mode (g+, only g, only b, and channels 1, 6 and 11 but still no dice.

Do you guys have any additional advice/tip for me?

Thank you in advance.

Note: I'm using Kalyway 10.5.1 and the latest stable iwi2200 driver (rev 782) with a router Linksys WRT54GC 2.0

EDIT: nvm...got it to work...thanks anyway, keep it up

[nordix]

Home router is always on and at least 3 public wifi networks are in range of my card. And no real ssid, only on init scan after reboot.

[jalavoui]

anyone knows howto write this code:
skb_set_mac_header(skb, 0);
skb_set_network_header(skb, 0);
?

never mind...

try this
the scan calls are very hacked - i'll deal with that later
networkselector is disabled

iwi3945 rel 867
iwi4965 rel 868

iwi2200 os x 10.5
need someone to post last svn release dmg

Hi! REL iwi 3945 856 Freeze on boot or KP on normal operation.

iwi4965 rel 868 will cause KP on boot. Will post a kextload log soon.
