People!
Upload your kext for 4965 please!

a can`t download 1.1 Gb for them=((((

[jalavoui]

Devoid tutorial is on 1st page - thanks


disabled skb functions
in your logs - check if the driver is working - if you get errors reboot and test again
if you don't know howto id a error just match your log agains the linux log. use the search topic to find the linux log
some of you are posting very short logs - i need to see the driver working. zip the file if it's to large

iwi 3945 rel 873...

Since the last versions, i get always the same errors, and i cant make the card boot without them...
I have try to raise the iosleep values everywhere to check whether they are timing errors, but they continue appearing.
I have attached just the errors, cause my logs are the same as lastests releases.
What can i try to hack to make them dissapear?.

Very nice tutorial Devoid!

873 log.

Lots of scanning, even on my card version Jalavoui! Still missing some init lines, but no load errors afik. The log runs through a few scans.

First of all, thanks to Devoid for the tutorial. I am glad I can start contributing.

I ran through the tutorial - after building iwi4965.kext and loading with kexthelper, I get the following error in system.log

cannot resolve dependencies for kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/iwi4965.kext

Also, when building networkselector, it fails with 35 errors. Errors such as 'iostream: No such file or directory', 'stdlib.h: No such file or directory', etc.

If somebody could help me clear these errors up, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

oke if your iwi4965.kext is in your extensions folder do a:

kextload -t /System/Library/Extensions/iwi4965.kext..

this will tell you what kext isnt correct for iwi4965. At my install it was the IO802......kext. I have replaced it with the origional and that worked. If you used the kalyway 10.5.2 disc, you installed a modified version with atheros support and this one doesnt work with iwi driver.


Devoid, maybe you can add this to your tutorial for when other people run into this problem

You nailed it. Took care of the networkselector issue as well. Thank you!

moved devoids tutorial to http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=71779 updated link in first post.

devoid can you still edit that or do I need to open the topic?

(and a great big "well done & keep it up" to everyone )

[edit] instructions topic opened & added some links.

Okay - looks like replacing IO80211Family.kext fudged up something. It re-detected my ethernet port, and now I keep getting this in system.log

en1 not running
check_firstup
goto system preferences --> networks and press apply if you keep seeing this
ieee80211_sta_work @ /Users/Adam/Desktop/root/compatibility.cpp:7672

This repeats every second or two. There was no option to press apply in Networks. Is there a way to reset the interface configuration, or another way to take care of this problem?

Sorry for all of the questions, once I have this down, I will be quiet

Hey, In netwprk prefs, click on the new enet, then click advanced. Cancel the advanced window, and apply is now available. It will fix this error.

Hey J, thanks for all the hard work.

Devoid, you are my savior. I can now participate in this project!

to that effect, here is my log for iwi4965 rev 874. Kext loaded no problem, computer detected new ethernet. I couldn't restart successfully though, tried 3 times, KP first time on normal boot, with -v it just gave me the blue login screen but never logged in. On -v, right before blue screen, I could see a bunch of iwi4965 flashing on the screen, but too fast to read. Hope this helps, im sry im a n00b lol

same results overhere, sorry for no log.. today im kinda out of time, hopefully can test again later this week.

[adamisnt]

Here is my first attempt at logs. Let me know if there is anything I should be doing differently.
After reboot, I got a KP after 2-3 minutes.

Logs are for iwi4965

Edit: Errr.... I am too slow. Loading 874 now

iwi3945/4965
all logs are full of errors
if you have found a way to make the driver work without errors
post your changes in the source code
until someone fix this i'll not post any version to svn
thanks for helping

No KP or freeze, and interesting content in logs, there are some packets (?)

At last several minutes I manually switched off and on my card, and it failed to return to life

[Gabik123]

what should I do to try and make the driver work without errors?

[jalavoui]

more scan hacking
if you get errors - reboot a few times

iwi3945 rel 875
iwi4965 rel 876


mlazy, pere
the iosleep hack in this release work for your cards?
i'm not shure but i think if you remove it and reboot a few times you can make the driver work even that it gets inital errors at startup

devoid,
i think you should add this files (need to be updated with detailed linux log and use same version as iwi)
to your howto
this will explain howto check logs and compare against linux to see if iwi is loading ok or if a reboot or power on/off is needed
i change the svn xcodeproj to default use svn system
this will allow users to check what's changed in code and try some hacks/patches
