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

yeah sure you can post the log, but if it doesnt contain any AP's its not any help.
the bad crc can be safely ignored

edit:
hehe, good to hear you made me worry for a minute, just "install" the driver and use the network selector provided with the zipfile.

I'm having a tough time getting the OS to accept the kext. I have downloaded the .dmg from http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/
The package in the image will install and everything says it goes fine, but when it reboots, nothing has changed. There isn't even a iwi3945.kext in the /System/Library/Extensions/ folder.

So, I found a iwi3945.kext somewhere in these forums and have been trying to get it to work.
I tried:

sudo -s
kextload /System/Library/Extensions/iwi3945.text

Then I get:
"kextload: cannot resolve dependencies for kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/iwi3945.kext
error loading extension /System/Library/Extensions/iwi3945.kext"

So I downloaded and tried Kext Helper b7. When I used it, it said everything was installed correctly, but when I restart, nothing had changed.

Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Or is there something else I should try?

I have an ASUS A8Jm with Intel PRO/set wireless 3945abg.

heh, misunderstanding.... i've tried your kext,and its networkselector, and it didn't produced any "->" in the logfile, just to see if my card was in order to work,i've tried to recompile the latest from the source and it worked,using the compiled networkselector,it don't associate but at least show me the APs list

Edit- here is the log

Hello Guys,

I'm figuring out how the 4965 driver reacts in different circumstances, because in my personal tests i see that different code is hit depending on the environment or some case of "mojo"
i have modified the driver a bit so it produces logging which is more understandable (for me at least )

i can't help you right now - still trying to fix my laptop
but
my guess is latest source code is ok to work

iwi2200
this is a airport issue - appleairport as some weird function in code that prevents other cards from doing a scan.
if we find a way to skip this and make it use iwi2200 scan results the driver would work quite nice.
maybe it's time to make iwi3945/4965 work as airport devices

driver development
i know everybody wants the drivers to work
i'd like to say i'll keep this project going - be patient

i don't see any accesspoints or an assosiate try in your logging.if you know some c++, the function iee80211_sta_config_auth in file compatibility.cpp is in charge for "selecting your accessoint" when i tried to assosiate i saw that it never came on the selected case and therefor the ieee80211_authenticate call trew and kernel crash which is needed for using the ieee80211_assosiate call

Thanks, that got it detected, but it's not considered an AirPort card, just a wired ethernet card. But I'm happy with that for the time being, just hoping that a working drivers comes out soon. Also, the moment I copied the original, it popped up that an ethernet card was detected. Now I just need to get sound and SD card working, then it'll be fully working.

I downloaded the iwi2200 driver for my Toshiba M155-S3094, and everything I open up network selector I get: Could not get ID for kernel control. 2. System Prefs also doesn't detect my wireless card after I installed it. I am running Kalyway 10.5.2 Leopard, if that helps.

Hi everybody,

For those who haven't donated yet, please read the following:

Development is still going slowly, because the developer Jalavoui doesn't have the hardware to test his code. If he has this hardware the development will go much faster (Jalavoi says it will only take a few days until he gets 3495abg and 4965agn to work). He needs quite a lot of money, because he needs a new laptop which is capable of handling the cards (=has mini pci-e slot). For more info please take a look at http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/
Here you can read that he needs 400 euro total and already has 250 (out of donations). So he still needs 150. This topic is regularly checked by hundreds of people. If each one of you people who has paypal and haven't donated yet donates 2.5, 5, 10 or even more then there should be enough money within 1 or 2 weeks. If you don't have paypal, please consider creating an account. You don't need a creditcard (though, it's easier and faster to have one) and it's very likely that you will have to or be able to use it another time.

Check out http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/ whenever you like to see how much money there still needs to be donated. Jalavoui updates it every few weeks.

Hopefully this will help and make us all happy users of nicely working intel wireless cards

i'd like a moderator to move this post to the correct hardware session - maybe add a new topic for keyboard and mouse drivers

this are the drivers for the keyboard and trackpad of a hp g7000 for mac os x86 10.5.3
maybe this work for other laptops

i've made the trackpad driver because the appleps2mouse as a random behavior - sometimes it enables the trackpad sometimes don't

to install:

- backup old ApplePS2Controller.kext
- install this one (it doesn't have suport for ps2 mouse - if you need it install from the old one but if you do so the trackpad won't work)
- repair permissions
- reboot
- goto system preferences - i've setup my trackpad like in this picture
- to use the keyboard - choose in sys prefs - international - input menu you country flag (mine is pt)
- i'm not shore if this is a mac os x or a driver feature (from my old acer driver) but pressing "fn+prt sc" pops up a arrow for screen capture. after that the picture is copied to memory and you can paste it

i might change some code for the trackpad driver - the code seems to be very old and have a few bugs

the source code of all this is in http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/ svn tree

Everything works perfect for me but GUI... Is it working for you people? Also, how can I save my WEP password and autoconnect every time MacOS starts? I have to open network selector everytime I start MacOs, choose the network and type the WEP password... it's very frustrating...

THANKS !!!!!!

[vietboi821]

He needs this:
"if someone from europe can send me one screen ref LTN133W1L01 , 1 iwi3945 , 1 iwi4965 card. after this i'm ready to write the code for the drivers. other countries can't help - the clearance costs are very high "

So either we fund raise the money, or someone has these parts lying around and is able to send it to him. If so, give him an email: jalavoui@gmail.com

AT THIS POINT, for 3945 and 4965, NOTHING IS WORKING, so please don't ask about your issues in not being able to connect to any wifi access points or problems with it.

Jalavoui, you can create a post wherever you want and edit this one, no need of a moderator for this.

I just got sick of waiting so I ordered myself the Thinkpad A/B/G card. It's $49.95 but I get a 20% discount so made it worth it...

Good luck on the 4965AGN...now just need the sound patch for my T61.

I was looking through the BSD and Linux driver development. They modify the firmware on the Intel 3945. Jalavoui, is the plan for the drivers to just keep the original Intel firmware?

I hope so. Otherwise possible problems might arise for dual booting. I can imagine Vista wouldn't be pleased if the intel card uses other firmware. In that case it (Vista) might react the way where used to: BLUESCREEN!

[Pako™]

this filthy rich guy who wants to write some code if it wants to help really to help, but it never ceases and also will be able to make a real driver of these targeted iwi3945, 1 iwi4965 that works well on Mac OS X if not The not be here, I would be earning money elsewhere .. started saying that it would, after which needed a iwi3945, or iwi4965 then he needed to repair your computer and then wanted a new one now and one screen and one that is worth more for everything and asi takes months and people do come and test a kernel panic behind another, what he wants you Jalavoui is mounted a study of all kinds of hardware at the expense of writing a code that's not going to work really, I think that wants to help really not doing so by this gentleman wants to call it somehow filthy rich at the expense of the people of this forum .. duty for cars and once ..
