[jalavoui]

we need more people testing the drivers and posting logs

maybe this startup is better

iwi3945 rel 1106
iwi4965 rel 1107


pwd error
open terminal
cd to iwi folder
rm iwi3945.dmg
sudo xcodebuild iwi3945.xcodeproj

devoid,
can you add this to the howto?

[mrroboto]

i can help you guys... just tell me where to put the sudo thing for the password error while compiling.

Arendil, there are still timeouts in your logs.
And my logs are not better than yours - KP's or timeouts (rels 1106, 1108).
Arendil - if you get KP's, make shots of them with your favourite camera and post them here

jalavoui - I've tried iosleeps with both rels (1106 and 1108), and figure out that iosleep values <2000 give usually uCode errors and endless loops of the same log strings (or KP's), and values >= 2000 - timeouts or KP's. But it's not a rule.

That's right. I mean, that other reboots was without KP.

How can I see KP log? I see something like Windows BSOD and message, that I need power off or reboot my computer.

[jalavoui]

reverted start code - more stable
the kp can be in tx code
without a kp picture i can't fix it

iwi3945 rel 1109
iwi4965 rel 1110

I think it when you type -v in the Darwin bootloader.

[jalavoui]

removed bad hack

iwi3945 rel 1111
iwi4965 rel 1112

[nordix]

iwi3945 rel 1111 -> KP's on install and each reboot.

The only good thing in my logs is rx probe with valid nodes. But add sta is still fake

add missing kref code

iwi3945 rel 1113
iwi4965 rel 1114

nordix,
your log is very short - need to see more lines
i think when you get a kp the driver is working
booting with -x shows kp line?

ITXW,
delete all grayed interfaces and reboot
it will show after the driver load in sys prefs

[ITXW]

iwi3945 - 1111

No kernel panic on load, frozen on blue screen first two reboots, and started on last reboot.

I get "goto system preferences -> networks and press apply if you keep seeing this" but when I go to networks, apply is grayed out. What am I suppose to do?

jalavoui - it's my full log from kextinstall to kextremove, 2 or 3 reboots

when I boot with -x, iwi3945.kext doesn't load itself - no iwi's in logs

1113 gives me timeouts or freezes in -v mode (or KP in graphic mode, w/o any log)

I have to go, will try to find good iosleeps later today...

[jalavoui]

the kp is easier to get in iwi4965 - anyone to help?

iwi3945/4965
both drivers aren't stable
if you get some kp
boot with -s
and do a fsck
if it fails you'll need to reinstall mac os

nordix,
edit /etc/rc
and add a line to kextload iwi3945.kext in -x mode

pwd error
open terminal
cd to iwi folder
rm iwi3945.dmg
sudo xcodebuild iwi3945.xcodeproj

devoid,
can you add this to the howto?

Alright, I can do that. What should I name that procedure? "Compiling the drivers through the Terminal"..? (From what I can tell, it loads it also)
*note: I tried those instructions, but the build fails. "unsupported build action 'iwi3945.xcodeproj'"
Just using "sudo xcodebuild" (without a target) while in the iwi folder works fine for me :]

and, I'll give iwi4965 a try in a couple minutes
kp on load, boots up fine though. Posting logs in a bit, it freezes after loading the login screen, no kp message visible though.

One log file posted (iwi4965, latest rel as of this post time), but it has stuff from multiple reboots.
