@jalavoui
Thanks for the feedback, so the main focus point is "getting a list of accesspoints"
i'll try to figure out if the card can be set to other channels, i think the 4965 card can scan the A,B,G and N range, there should be some API call to set it i guess.

i have tried the new version, and the first time it boots it gives a kernal panic, i don't see it in the logging.
after a hard reboot it booted fine, but when the system is shut down, it took a long time...screen scrolled very fast, i gave it a ctrl+C (abort) and did reboot

in my logging i can conferm that this one exists (it's my main network N and WPA 2 encrypted)
bssid=00:1b:63:2d:92:4c stabssid=00:00:00:00:00:00 ('<hidden>')darwin_iwi4965: Ethernet address 00:13:e8:9c:47:73

Jun 6 23:47:02 Laptop kernel[0]: bssid=00:1b:2f:56:c5:6e stabssid=00:00:00:00:00:00 ('<hidden>')
this one is not available with other logger like AP grapher

in the logfile i do not find my test accesspoint g-standard - no encryption (on 00:16:cb:be:22:84)

i can't get the "scan_complete" with the new driver/code.
i'm analysing these two logfiles right now

one is the new driver which is not able to get a scan_complete
and the other is a modified codebase of last week, which does give the scan_complete

do you have any idea what triggert the result?
@jalavoui do you have icq/msn/irc, we might be able to speed things up (got a working laptop here) and i got some time this weekend

this should do it
eenMadcat, if not try to change the code in __ieee80211_rx()

iwi3945 rel 1151
iwi4965 rel 1152

maybe add a if in networkselector call helps getting a scan complete
the scan call should fail if already scanning

the driver seems to detect networks without the scan call...!?
after this is checked maybe trying to call the scan with a network ssid will work better
i've added
ieee80211_sta_start_scan(dev, ifsta->ssid, ifsta->ssid_len);//NULL, 0);
to svn tree
search for
IOLog("request scan!\n");
if you can find a way to make the user select from a network list (get if from __ieee80211_rx)
them you can try to call ieee80211_sta_req_scan(dev,ssid,ssid_len);
can you try this?

[eenMadcat]

during boot i am able to get a scan_complete again, but not using the tool.
i'm transfering logfile in a minute

edit:
woops, false alarm. still not able to get a scan_complete result.. trying to receive it.
it is seeing my "debug access point" and iwl4965_rx_scan_results_notif are received... still do not beleive the "802.11a" value

also seeing a ghost AP ...00:1b:2f:56:c5:6e
somehow it locks to this adress, dunno why!

during startup i scan is performed.. maybe some OSX call does this.
this scan call somehow gives a different result (better) as the scan call performed by the tool

[jalavoui]

yep,
if this is right passing the right ssid might help
are you using a old release?
i've disable the 1st auto scan call in check_firstup()

ok - i'll wait for your code
if you like to commit to the svn tree pm me with a gmail account so i can add you to iwidarwin

okey, ill try to receive the list from __ieee80211_rx first. or call the ieee80211_sta_req_scan from a known ssid

Ah, that makes sense why i do not get it anymore.. overall this scan was getting the best result

log for 4965

ps: ieee80211_sta_start_scan looks like an interesting function

i just remembered that when this begins to work you'll get some kernel panics related with rx/tx code - we'll deal with it later
it will be nice that more people test the new releases and post logs

eenMadcat,
if this log is ok them the code with
printk("rxbssid=" MAC_FMT
in __ieee80211_rx()
is never called - sta is allways NULL ??

if you like to debug
set this in ieee80211_sta_start_scan()
/*if (!rc) {
local->sta_scanning = 1;
local->scan_dev = dev;
}
return rc;*/
this will force tx packets and give nice kp

but i think trying the scan with the right ssid should be the 1st thing to do
i have to go - good luck

ill load your driver again (is switching back and forwards)
do you have icq/msn/gtalk/other IM ?

i can not find "rxb" in the logging, so if that's not printed maybe sta is in this configuration null
i loaded the driver and hit scan, in the "console" i use "all messages" to find the string

iwi4965 installs and boots ok on my machine (Dell XPS m1530, Intel Conroe T9300, 8600m GT, 3gb ram, running Kalyway 10.5.2), but networkSelector fails to find it.. looks like network stack isn't bound to anything. Any advice? I'd love to be able to contribute.

build r1156, system logs from most recent boot. Hope these are OK, else direct me.

eenMadcat,
you're an iwidarwin admin
keep posts here. this is better than msn,etc cause it allows others to follow development news

i don't have new code to post - anyone to help?

[jalavoui]

maybe this work
let the driver work for a minute before try to scan with networkselector

iwi3945 rel 1157
iwi4965 rel 1158

maybe you get a kp

[eenMadcat]

keep posts here. this is better than msn,etc cause it allows others to follow development news

oh well, how do you move data between the compatibilty,iwi4965, networktool ?
the structs like ieee80211_local are different, or am i forgetting something?

the new version lets the system hangs, no KP just hanging..
ps: in ieee80211_sta_req_scan shouldn't ieee80211_sta_start_scan be called when "sdata->type == IEEE80211_IF_TYPE_STA", instead of not equal?

[jalavoui]

add scanned nets list to networkselector
the driver is expected to enter a scan-loop

iwi3945 rel 1159
iwi4965 rel 1160

this code might need some fixes - check the hack in ieee80211_rx_bss_add()
the loop condition only happens if you get a scan_complete
the driver as no code for
wireless_send_event(dev, SIOCGIWSCAN, &wrqu, NULL);
this code gets the scan results
so i'll try to do this by hacking some code

very nice log

Jun 7 20:25:28 thomas-godons-mac-pro kernel[0]: request scan - networks found:\
Jun 7 20:25:28 thomas-godons-mac-pro kernel[0]: 1) 00:13:f7:35:a9:e2 ('Boven')\
Jun 7 20:25:28 thomas-godons-mac-pro kernel[0]: 2) 00:50:18:16:cb:38 ('Beneden')\
Jun 7 20:25:28 thomas-godons-mac-pro kernel[0]: 3) 00:1b:11:8d:24:1a ('FUPKE')\

this is the output of a scan - called by networkselector
is this correct (mac address and ssid)?
need others to post logs - i have 2/3 more releases to test
please post wich networks you can detect in windows/linux and wich ones are shown by iwi3945
maybe with this code eenMadcat or someone with the card can make the driver work

leo333,
i have no idea how much will a laptop cost
once i know it i'll post the value in iwidarwin

It's the DMG we have to try, right?
Because I didn't saw any difference between previous.

Didn't give me any results until i closed network selector.
Suddenly all AP came out, they are the only near as far as windows can tell...
MAC's are correct
So seems nice
