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

[@irBOrNE]

This fix worked for me. Now my only problem is a bit of a slow or delayed connection. Clicking a link causes the browser (firefox and safari) to lag for a bit, and then resume normal high speed usage. downloads are the same.

Yes, the lag bug in the iwi2200 still exists, and has yet to be resolved. Everyone please continue to post your logs, it is the best thing you can do to help our developers with problems like this. I will post mine as soon as I have a chance to upgrade to Leo.. Thanks to everyone for your contributions to the project..

FYI, from the iwidarwin FAQ at http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/
--------------------------------
How do I create log's to help development of the drivers?

1. open Terminal

% sudo -s
% cd ~/Desktop
% dmesg > dmesg.txt
% cat /var/log/system.log > system.txt
% ioreg -w 0 > ioreg.txt

2. Now you have 3 log files; dmesg.txt, system.txt and ioreg.txt you can find them on the desktop

OMG! It works. WPA/WEP don't work, but damn it feels like my hackbook is complete now. Thanks to jalavoui and Tereska for making my particular build work. Awesomeness =D

Yep... it's working for me on open networks. No WPA/WEP yet tho

[kaliszon]

Dear Tereska,


I made every step from your great tutorial, but it not works - system doesn't load the iwi2200.kext. I attached the logs - maybe somebody will now what's going on with my hackintosh?

Attached File(s)

 boot.txt ( 3.51K ) Number of downloads: 14
 ioreg.txt ( 27.33K ) Number of downloads: 5
 kextstat.txt ( 8.19K ) Number of downloads: 4
 system.txt ( 293.6K ) Number of downloads: 9

Just thought I'd update people on the hare-brained scheme of writing a translation layer. TNW has been hard at work, and between the two of us there are enough stubbed-out functions in place that the thing actually compiles, links, and loads.

After much fanagaling, I have it so that the OS X darwin_iwi3945::init() routine calls the module_init() routine in the [(nearly) stock iwl3945-base.c, and the free()/exit() routines are likewise matched. Granted, none of the stubs are implemented yet, and the thing doesn't yet unload. But it's small progress.

[Ethan021]

TNW,symuc,jalavoui you guys are doing a good work and symuc sorry if i spelled your name wrong. as i was saying you guys are doing very good work but is there will there be any realse date soon? because i really need internet on my labtop

[jalavoui]

TNW,

the iwi2200.dmg from svn is wrong
you should do it in xcode and let the script build iwi2200.pkg for you instead of manually add the files
just build the project and it will work (sometimes the script fails and you have to build it again)
can you update it in svn?

about logs
please use the getlogs form http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/ to make logs

[...] a port of the driver is just a matter of time (a BSD driver is even more close since OSX derives from FreeBSD). Plus the source code of the driver is freely available.

I have probably overlooked a discussion of it in this forum, but maybe not:

There is a working 3945 driver for FreeBSD:

FreeBSD 3945 driver

Again, this has probably been posted long time ago, so just slap me for mentioning the obvious.

Interesting..................
I am tempted to try it out....

[A.J]

is it going to be easier to edit the FreeBSD driver than the linux to get it working in mac ?

[gok]

Hi,

Unable to find pkg install for Intel 4965AGN !
Any idea ?

Thanks

[TNW]

Ho ... =_= I never view this driver before.

But I think this will be easier to port the driver from FreeBSD 'cause OS-X use the same network buffer ...

[EDIT] but I realy don't know ^^

[gok]

Intel Wireless 4965AGN works with my Ubuntu Gutsy and my FreeBSD 6.3

[Frankie B]

Cant wait for the release of a newer 3945 test, I will try it out when release comes, cant wait for internet on my fujitsu tablet

What tablet do you have? A T4215?

Anyways....

Does one of the developers of these drivers, want to post what they think of the FreeBSD drivers?

[OscarWabbit]

is a WPA version of 2200 driver planned for tiger?

WEP is too unsafe to use.

I have a P1610, the awesomely small ones, but not as small as the U series. They are really nice for school and taking notes, but I really need the 3945 driver for internet and such.

[jalavoui]

the FreeBSD drivers code can help iwi drivers
i've checked it in the past for iwi2200 but didn't find usefull stuf in it
i think we can use portions of it in iwi3945
but the linux port will be more stable

[heavencat]

iwi2200 works under kalyway_10.5.2 which is upgraded from kalyway_10.5.1, WEP is also confirmed working. Just make sure to use XX:XX:XX.. format when typing WEP key. I'm using 40-bit key, and have DELL D6000.

Thanks all developers and supports here for giving us the wireless access on Leopard!

[inedible]

For everyone asking when will the 4965agn work, and why doesn't the 4965 driver work, and where's the leopard version of the 4965 driver, and why isn't this done already, I'm impatient and demand someone else fix my problems -- you will all have to wait patiently, there has been no progress on the 4965 driver. the 4965 driver as it stands, does not work, it only fools tiger into recognizing you have an airport card, and does not provide wireless functionality.

Coding drivers is hard f**ing work, very time consuming, and with little reward. No one is paying these people to write these drivers, they're sacrificing countless hours of their spare time to fixing *other people's problems*.

Note that these developers don't even own all these cards, they're doing this solely to help the community.

Please stop pestering the developers, if there has been any progress, it will have been posted in this thread. Before posting, please read every single post in this thread.

PS: jalavoui, if you have a free mini-pcie slot, I'd be willing to loan you my 4965agn indefinitely, as it's plainly of no use to me right now. PM me with your mailing address.
