I'll get working on the installation package, give me around an hour from this post.
edit: the kext/networkSelector/nsGUI.app in the latest installation package show a last-modified date of April 21st.
the most recent modification uploaded to the SVN on iwi2200.cpp was on April 17th.
I don't have a 2200 to test, but the installation package in the disk image file on the SVN appears to be up to date.

Thanks devoid. Unfortuantely the latest iwi2200 svn DMG that's been there for a while isn't working, and I can't find any earlier versions to revert to. Basically when trying to choose a certain SSID to connect to, it will either randomly start cycling through multiple SSID's (including ones I did not select(?)), or appear to connect but not obtain a DHCP address and no network connectivity. Manually setting the IP in this case doesn't work either. This driver was working well previously, so I'm not sure what happened, something seems to have gotten messed up... I will try to post some logs later tonight when I can get back to my 'tosh if that will help.

EDIT: This is only the 10.5 version I am referring to FYI...

[rusteswan]

Same again from iwi3945 version 891.

installed kext fine, rebooted fine first time.


Hope this stuff is proving useful.....

@irBOrNE
read the 1st post and build iwi2200.dmg
i'll help you if you can't

last log is the worst i've ever seen
at leat look at linux log to know what to search for
can someone post a good tested log for this
the driver is sending a reassoc response

[pere]

Javalui, I have tried the last 3 versions, and i dont post log cause i cant find anything useful on them.

Is supossed we have to try the card starts correctly and then get a kp, post here the pic so you can see the details, is that right?

Everytime i can get my card start correctly, it just freeze, dont give any KP
And when the card start incorrectly, then gives the famous SYS ASSERT.

OK, I would like to give it a try tonight or tomorrow when I am back at my Leo machine and have some time to walk through learning this procedure (especially now that we have the great tutorial from devoid!) Otherwise, if someone has these tools already installed and would like to go for it ahead of me, feel free to do so, as I don't want to keep others waiting..

[grrantry]

What kernel is needed for this to work??

[mlazy]

Hey all,

899 xboot, manual load. Loads for about 15 seconds, then hard freeze.

[jalavoui]

this should work better

iwi3945 rel 900
iwi4965 rel 901

[mlazy]

900 log. Regular boot, manual kexload. Correct me if I'mwrong, but it looks like it loads well, gets a Microcode HW error, reboots, gets a UCode error, then loops?

Going to go test a few more times...

 900.txt ( 698.73K ) Number of downloads: 21


Update: -x boot gives me immediate kp on kextload.

[jalavoui]

when the driver gets this
IWL_DEBUG_INFO("ALIVE processing complete.\n");
it's ready for 1st scan
this call fires up also after using the switch off/on
i'll add a scan call to this and upload to svn

iwi3945 rel 902
iwi4965 rel 903

here are logs from rev903, wiw4965. I have them upon install and restart. No KP but it took a while to start the OS up on restart. It loaded only after like 5 minutes of text for the 4965 scrolling across the screen. It was too fast, but attached is the copy of system.log from the reboot. I honestly don't know how to read this stuff, so I appologize if the log is no good. Hopefully it will help though

also, i got an error when compiling the kext. Did anyone else? And if you didn't can you post your kext and ill retest using it?

this is very interesting the scan loops with a 20 seconds delay - nop seems to be manual?
can you post this log with associate/disassociate/rfkill actions

iwi3945/4965
need log with lines from driver startup

scan loop
iwi3945 rel 904
iwi4965 rel 905

pere,
can you try other values for iosleep hack? might make the driver more stable

[pere]

Katched a KP finally.

Iwi 3945 last version.

Log from reboot. (Have ucode errors).

EDIT:
Going to try the iosleep hacks.


EDIT 2:

After raise the iosleep to 4000, get a little bit more, stable, still have time outs on transmit rx on.

Log attached.

iwi3945 rel 902No KP of freezes, but I take error "en1 not running", and no 1st scan init.iwi3945 rel 904First 2 reboots -> freezes, then norm. Still have "en1 not running", it's something with "if (!netif_running(dev))"? BTW, I take an error when building kexts (902, 904), shot is below. Some script?

yep, you're right
let's fix it

iwi3945 rel 906
iwi4965 rel 907

last version for today

pere,
i change the call to ieeeopen
this can change driver stability - the drive will only start loading after call enable()
can you test? - i mean hack
i think if you hack the way the driver calls ieeeopen (eg. split commands) you get more stability

the password bug is because the "sudo" commands don't work in xcode for 10.5 - try to use your root account
