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

[Gabik123]

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.

here here!

guys, i got nothing for respect for you for doing this

and if your english aint that great, that isn't something to appologize for. if we are intellegent and patient enough to sort through all of this and try to install OSX on a PC, then we should be intellegent and patient enough to sort through english that is missing a few proper nouns, lol.

Hmm, does this refer to any driver specifically (such as 3945 )? And by "on the road" how far along do you mean?

[TNW]

Mmmmmm... I'm looking at my cristal ball ...

Between 2 weeks and 10 years :/

I'm kidding ;p , I really don't know . I hope quickly.

For the former question , I've got only a 3945 but when this translator will be done, the 4965 will can be ported very quickly.

[LordNite]

Jalavoui, can you send me the tool that you are using do develop the driver. My laptop have iwi3945, and I would like to help you.

Pls send me a zip with the tool and the project iwi3945abg

thanx

It's a problem with the DMG , maybe you should take the zip I posted 2 or 3 days ago ..

[FujitsuFreak]

Im freakin excited here!

That worked. Thank you TNW.

[alvinsclee]

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

I am hoping that the FreeBSD code can help more... afterall, MacOSX has portions based on BSD.
I will pray for your success.

Cheers to the team!

Can you confirm which files on the google code site are not currently working?

Also, is it a requirement have the MAC address defined in Info.plist?

Can't glean this information from the forum as it stands currently.

[arob92]

does anybody know i WPA support is being worked on for 2200??

Actually you can ignore that if you wish, I've tried with the last 5 revisions, the SVN Trunk binary, and compiling from latest source; none work.

I have the following card:

Intel 2915ABG rev 05
DEV_ID: 8086:4224

Running this machine (T43P thinkpad):
root# uname -a
Darwin victor-laptop 8.8.1 Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.1: Sat Dec 9 22:18:27 AZOT 2006; semthex:/nebukadnezar/BUILD/obj/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386

Problem: Kext is not automatically loading, and when manually loaded no change to dmesg output, no new adaptor. I've attached the full dmesg output as grep returns nothing in the getlogs.command script.

Symptoms: When manually loaded with
root# kextload -t /System/Library/Extensions/iwi2200.kext
kextload: extension /System/Library/Extensions/iwi2200.kext appears to be valid
kextload: extension /System/Library/Extensions/iwi2200.kext is already loaded

When I run networkSelector:

root# ./networkSelector
Could not get ID for kernel control. 2

When I boot in single user mode I see this line in screen output:
localhost configd[55]: No Airport Driver found

I have checked permissions, removed Extensions.* and manually checked timestamps to make sure I wasn't somehow overwriting my iwi2200.kext with some other cached version.

Any ideas what is happening here?

Is there anything in iwi2200.kext/Contents/Info.plist which would cause the kext to fail to attach to the hardware?

I can try out any patches you want.

Thanks for the work on the driver port.

Hoping for 3945 support soon!

Me too!!!!! (and I guess a buch of other guys!)

I've not been on these forums long, and this may seem a little blunt, but posts like this are a complete waste of everyone's time. When you're trying to find information within 200 pages worth of posts, every little post that basically says "great!", "when?", or "now!" is like a little stab wound in the neck.

This has all been said before, there's posts stickied all over the shop telling you not to do it, and yet it continues...

[Rafael Dreher]

Development of 3945 for Tiger has been stopped?

[TNW]

Hello,

No, the developement isn't stopped.
The new version is for the moment at the same point as the old version.

If you want to test this version , you can download it herre:

http://zetasam.ath.cx/iwi3945_19_02_2008.zip

the code is too crapy to commit it in the svn .

If you have time , you can take a look to the code and say me what is wrong

Bye.

[EDIT]: I posted the log for developers

hey everyone, I just tried to download the current svn from the iwidarwin website and the link in:

PROSet/Wireless 3945a/b/g OS X 10.5 IO80211Controller SVN latest

does not seem to be working.

I think having the device show up as an air port card is the way to go then the native applewirelless items can take over.

I will be trying the last download from the post above later tonighth. I have a Lenovo r61 with the 3945 card in it. I will report then.

[agent-squirrel]

@Zubi: We know it doesn't work. There are some very talented developers working on the driver at the moment. Read the whole topic before posting!
