iwi4965 v100

I've made progress on getting log files off my machine now. I'm running into issues trying to get the module to even load.
in reading the install/testing guide as well as some other messages about testing I found what I believe to be the solution, but I dont know where/how to get the file in question.
First from the logs:
larryroberts$ sudo kextload -t iwi4965.kext

Password:

kernel extension iwi4965.kext has problems:

Missing dependencies:

{

"com.apple.iokit.IO80211Family" =

"A valid compatible version of this dependency cannot be found"

}




I read a couple threads about people replacing some kext with the original, but I dont know for sure which kext, or for that matter where to get the original. Would love to be able to help out more, but right now I'm still in noob mode.

Anyone care to share a little more insight?

Well did install the rel 999 for iwi3945 , but still not seem in the Mac info. ( under network)
See the log file. ( not sure if its the right one, BUT I hope it hope it can be to some use.

I have a question. When the driver is finished would it be an AirPort Driver? So will I need no extra Program like a real AirPort Card??
Sorry for my bad English..

r1002 4965
No more auth found. I let it run a bit more (the log is big now) and did a search but still no auth.
no KP. Gonna reboot now, if KP i ll post.
@sherringham: Can you open Network then press + (add) and check if there's an extra Ethernet available? (If you have Ethernet working already then there should be 2 Ethernet, otherwise there would be only 1). The new extra Ethernet is the one installed by the iwi kext. I had the same problem but then I found out that if I add that extra ethernet as a network there will be an extra ethernet with my 4965 Mac address under Mac Info.
@Drakulix: Read the google code website FAQ more carefully. No it will not be an airport, it will show up as an Ethernet network and you need an appropriate networkSelector to go with it.

P.S. How can you make such a small log? Mine's always so big >.< I dont know when to stop logging sorry >.<

@Sophitia : Well did try you advise but I dont seem to get an other unik device:
Just as there are two with same MAC adress

Ethernet:
Type: Ethernet
BSD Device Name: en0
Hardware (MAC) Address: 00:1c:df:31:c0:95
IPv4:
Configuration Method: DHCP
IPv6:
Configuration Method: Automatic
AppleTalk:
Configuration Method: Node
Proxies:
Exceptions List: *.local, 169.254/16
FTP Passive Mode: Yes
Intel Pro 3945:
Type: Ethernet
BSD Device Name: en0


What am I doing wrong?
Hardware (MAC) Address: 00:1c:df:31:c0:95
IPv4:
Configuration Method: DHCP
IPv6:
Configuration Method: Automatic
AppleTalk:
Configuration Method: Node
Proxies:
Exceptions List: *.local, 169.254/16
FTP Passive Mode: Yes

[Sophitia]

Did you try "Adding" new Ethernet? (Pressing the + ). If there are 2 Ethernets shown up in the drop box then it's installed.

[sheringham]

Yes there are 2 Ethernet under devices there.. But the same MAC adress !!!!

Guys,
I have a question. I am about to download the latest software, but noticed that the network Selector software doesn't work.
It gives me the famounse error can't get control error 2 deal whereby the driver isn't loading.

Should this be happening?

I also wants to test...

directions for driver testing are at the bottom of the first post on this thread.

Welcome aboard

[mprewitt]

Ok,
With 3945, rel 1002, it is not initializing the nic.
Not sure why, but here are the logs.
No KP at least.

iwi3945 rel1001

Instant freeze at kext install, no KP's at reboot. I am posting logs after 1st and 2nd reboot. Hope they help somehow...

P.S. Big thanks to Doctadre for posting the kext!

[pere]

Log for iwi 3945 1003.... we didnt celebrate the #1000 release!! Take some beers and cheers for Javalui!!!.

good - the card is linux setup
let's try a scan at enable() - it is not expected to loop

iwi3945 rel 1005
iwi4965 rel 1006

[Doctadre]

This is prolly it for me tonite, I'll be around roughly for another 30 mins. I kept getting timeouts. 1003 for 3945 for those to test. Later tonite I'll upload the last build if there is one for the day

{censored}, @ jala done it again. Preciate all your hard work gonna test the latest build

iwi3945 rel 1003 -> no KP's (but strange NSExceptionHandler records...), and timeouts after reboots. And no scan loop, as I can see
