[myself108]

Hello all, I used to test the kext when mlazy had posted the kexts. Now Im trying to figger out for the life of me, how to compile my own kexts. Ive downloaded xcode, and now with devoids and pere's guide, Im at loss to find out which files I need to compile the kexts, how to download the entire file trunk. Guess Im just a dumb noob. Im no stranger to code (c++/java under my belt) Anyone down for helpin me out?

open the xcode project file *.xcodeproj then press the build button on the toolbar... it will place the built kext in /your working directory/build/debug/

iwi 3945 ucode bug and timeouts.
Couldnt make it work with the suggested hack.
Searched on internet and this bug has been a pain in the a** for a lot of linux users using hardy release.
I have find someone has release a fix for the ucode errors on 3945, but i dont know how to reach this info:

The upstream bug report mentions the following commits as possibly fixing this bug report:

iwlwifi: earlier rx allocation


The link from the main thread is here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/185470.

Also get this info:

They're currently working on packaging an updated driver which has a real fix for this problem and it will be available through the linux-backports-modules package. The Network Manager fix is strictly a workaround for the driver because the driver doesn't support SCAN_CAPA. The newer driver does however and also includes a fix for the LED light.

What can we do for help, Javalui?.

[myself108]

finally got no kp with r952
-x boot and removed and recreated the ethernet interface in system preferences
here is a log

Thanks myself108 and x4hu. My issue now is every time I try to build the kext I get 27 warnings and then an error that the build has failed. Any ideas? Im off to comb this thread for anyone else having that problem

Thanks myself108 and x4hu. My issue now is every time I try to build the kext I get 27 warnings and then an error that the build has failed. Any ideas? Im off to comb this thread for anyone else having that problem

check to see what the error is... someone else had an one error earlier today it was because the script run to load the kext failed because it needed a password, but the build still worked... check to see if the kext is in the /svn source directory/build/debug if it is then load it manually... dont worry about the warnings, it will still build with warnings, the current 4965 builds with more than 400

[Doctadre]

K brb, Im sure, it didnt even finish building the kext. Thanks in advance for helpin out, Reppin Halifax, NS here

[rulli]

For the bug fixes (3945) under Linux I found these links:

http://www.mail-archive.com/git-commits-he...g/msg33809.html
and this:
http://www.mail-archive.com/git-commits-he...g/msg41153.html
Hope it helps

One change is
u32 count = 0; to u32 count = 8;
The other hack is more complicate: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/...94ae316c6b79a03

[Doctadre]

I wasnt able to make a kext, I looked in that directory you mentioned. here are two screenies

The Error


The warnings

thats odd... because the warning you got was for the installer script not getting a password to run a command as root... i am using xcode 3.0 in leopard 10.5.1 and even though i get the same error myself it still builds the kext, just to be clear the /build/debug/ directory will be within the directory that contains the .xcodeproj file... for you that would be the /users/doctadre/desktop/latest wireless kext/build/debug/

[Doctadre]

Ah, stupid me got the files mixed up. Alright So Ive got the build, but Im pretty sure something is wrong according the initial part of the logs. My logs do not look the same as they did with the chun nan kexts before I Added another 15 gigs to my tiny leopard partition for the xcode. Anyway, here is the iwi3945.kext rel952 for those who want to test. Thanks alot for helping out. Going to look over my old logs now to compare initial log

This is the line that is different
May 3 19:05:08 doctadres-mac-pro Terminal[342]: _CFGetHostUUIDString: unable to determine UUID for host. Error: 35

The chun nan kexts should have fixed this

@ Doctadre

i am pretty sure that the
May 3 19:05:08 doctadres-mac-pro Terminal[342]: _CFGetHostUUIDString: unable to determine UUID for host. Error: 35
line has nothing to do with the kext itself as it appears before you load the kext

[Doctadre]

perhaps you are correct. In my old logs I used to get this line

Apr 28 22:01:40 doctadres-mac-pro kernel[0]: IOPCCard info: iwl3945: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection

lookin good jala. signing out for tonite i'll be available for testing/hacking tomorrow morning. Glad ive got xcode now

[pa28cr]

Here are my 3945 logs, one after loading, another after reboot.
Hope they help somehow

the driver can't hack the assoc like this
when it gets a probe resp it should auth/assoc
let it scan and check the changes in system.log
i think this is easy to fix in code - can someone try to hack?

Cxddev,
can you compare the iwi tx auth/assoc packet against the linux
i think there's a bug in iwi tx code
or better
set linux debug to 0xffffffff
this way we can see what the driver does when it get a beacon/probe response
can someone post this for 3945?
