Just tested the 918 for iwi4965

I got a KP.

I made a pic while booting using -s -x.


Click for bigger size.

Hope this is helpful.

Keep up the good work.

for jalavoui,

thx

[jalavoui]

kp fix...

iwi3945 rel 919
iwi4965 rel 920

pere,
can you test this?
need to be shure someone is testing last release

[pere]

Im testing and fighting the las releases KP!
Going to test this one right now.

EDIT:
Here is my log for iwi 3945 rel 919

No more kp.
Used a value iosleep 4000 to avoid the ucode errors.
Seems the driver is now doing less things.

crossing my fingers for your success!

g`luck

[grrantry]

What kernel do you need for 3945 to load? And how do you chage the kernel?

When I load kext I get nothing Could be cause I can't turn on 3945it uses Functio f2 to turn on in Windows!!

Thanks

[jalavoui]

when this project started for iwi3945/4965 i assume that the code for mac80211-10.0.4 was used
but TNW and symuc didn't apply the patches to this lib
meaning that all this time we're using a very old version of this lib
i'll use the same lib after apllying the make modified to get it patched
all source code must be changed...

this is just to much work - i don't feel like rewriting all project from scratch
i''ll just fix it when i find new bugs

i do hope they haven't done the same mistake for iwl-1.2.23

@#$!

iwi3945 rel 924
iwi4965 rel 925

have no idea on how this will work with the new lib
add pere's iosleep

iwi4965 rel 923

Does the set_rate stuff, no scanning as far as I can tell.
No KP

iwi4965 rel 925
Can see what looks like scanning when booting in -v verbose mode, but not seeing those entries in system.log.

Getting this:

May 2 08:46:08 adam-notebook kernel[0]: error iwl4965: ERROR: No TX rate available.

and

May 2 08:46:08 adam-notebook kernel[0]: iwl4965: U iwl4965_rx_handle r = 13, i = 12, REPLY_TX, 0x1c

damn.... holy cr*p... do they have any chance to work with the old libraries on leo ?
I mean that can be an endless loop of bugs...

[i_Geek]

damn... going to replace my i3945 with a dell mini pci-e... ((

[Ruud]

Hey all, i wanted to thank you all for your help getting this driver working. Jalavoui you are doing great work overhere.

I wanted to tell that I can no longer help testing. Today i received a atheros 5008 mini pcix at my work and this one works very well so i replaced my 4965.

I wish everyone good luck with this project.

[nordix]

iwi3945 rel 924 -> no KP, but strange and "lazy" work.

Jalavoui, what's there in the "modified" folder?

good to see less bugs - i'll post a new scan call. this is called in enable() if there's no previous errors in driver

iwi3945 rel 926
iwi4965 rel 927

don't worry i won't give up

[adamisnt]

I am at work right now, and I don't think there are any wireless networks in range. Therefor, I am not getting a lot of the scan/reply code that I see in pere's logs.

Is it pointless for me to test with no networks in range?

[myself108]

here is my log for 4965r927

it now has lines showing the driver scanning, and i also get a scan_complete notification

Edit: I attached the compiled kext for testing

Lots of stuff in this one. I see it scanning (note: there are no wifi networks in range as far as I know)

Haven't seen this before:
