With all respect to those trying to get this working, I've literally grown bored of waiting! And bored of "is it done yet?" posts. People, rather than nagging for WHEN the driver is gonna be finished, surely it would be easier for those who can do it to buy a £15 dell 1490 and stuff that in their laptops NOW instead.

As for those who can't/won't... well, when this driver IS finished, there won't be anyone on this forum who DOESN'T know about it this thread is a big deal!! Until that day, my card is in retirement whilst I enjoy full Airport goodness with my new one!!

In all fairness though, the first post in this thread really should be kept up to date with the in-thread affairs since reading all these pages would make your eyes bleed.

Well said. However, some people can't replace their wireless cards. Like me, if I could just get to it, I would replace it in a heartbeat. But sadly, I would have to take apart my whole laptop to get to my wireless card.

yeap...

and i don't want to lose my warranty...

[usmarinedelta]

so then if i put that airport card in my laptop will i still be able to get wireless with windows XP

[SpeedCat1995]

I don´t know what connector the air port cards have but would it be possable to connect them to mini pci the driver would be no problem then!

[nosushi4you]

Surely there's external network adapters that we could use?

I'm seriously considering getting one. I don't have Osx86 on my laptop, yet, but I will as soon as I can figure out if my 8400M GS supports QE.

offtopic, but the whole thread seem more off topic than in-topic. yes 8400m gs support QE/CI up to 10.5.4, if you install macos and get qe/ci on 10.5.5 let me know! thanks.

ah, yes, you can use a usb wifi adapter, in meantime a driver for intels come out, i know one from d-link

NO NEW KEXT to use for the 3945ABG?? I have My Dell Vostro 1500 full working in MAC,all the Hardware,but the wireless won't work

Maybe about a million others have the same issue, whats your point?

This thread started in January of this year. It's now middle of October and it looks like the driver is still not working
for these intel wireless devices.

This makes me think that jalavoui probably didn't have the competence to develop this driver code in the first place.

I hope not too many people have sent money to this guy.

(laughing with dismay...)

If you would ACTUALLY READ the forum, you would realize that jalavoui's laptop died. Stop being a dick head, and go find something better to do. Lay off people, he is doing this in his free time. Your lucky we even have somebody working on these drivers. Stop complaining that your wireless doesn't work, nobody on here gives a {censored}. Just stop, please.

[peach-os]

I did send him money - and I would do it an other time if needed

[fernando.kreutz]

people, stop asking to buy dell wireless cards. if u have an hp laptop, you can put it on and say: wow, i lose my money, cause you'll get error 104 - usuported network device, remove and reboot system. I got it and when i tryed to flash my bios with a moded one, what i got? a {censored}ed hp laptop bios, cause i'm not able to recover it, as nowadays laptops dont come with floppy drives and usb ones are not cheap and we need weeks of waiting to receive one in brazil. so, if you have a card with no driver, buy a usb capable one and get happy.

ps. i bouth an hp retail BCM94311MCG brodcom wireless card, and surprisely it is not in my hp laptop whitelist. (now bios is {censored}ed, so no bios, no whitelist =]).

[apple's computers suck]

I'm sort of new here. Running kalyway 10.5.1. I need the intel 4965 driver!

Specs:Dell Vostro 1700

Intel Core 2 Duo/Centrino chipset

Nvidia GeForce 8600M

2gb Ram

intel 10/100 lan (which i hav 2 use 4 internet!)

[krrr]

cause you'll get error 104 - usuported network device, remove and reboot system.

You know, i got dell1490 and i did not get error when i placed it in my HP and booted. i was totally confused. check link on how i upgraded without any error in my sig

[fernando.kreutz]

krrr, you don't understood, pc don't boot with this device that is nor listed on whitelist, so you'll need to mod the bios.

[krrr]

believe me, my card is not the normal 1490, it totally booted up with no 104 error. i think it was already flash (firmware on card or something) by the seller or something cause i dont know why it straightaway worked in my HP

You have a luck man - there is a fully working kext to 8400m gs "NVInject 0.2.1" support all the Vram ,QE/CI and everything else ! I just can't set it to get an external display working (there was something lika NVCAP think ,but I don't know exactly )YET Just trying with VGA
You can find this kext in almost all the releases of Leopard (Leo4Allv2 for example)

Good Luck !

[Wayfarer247]

Hey guys, I am patiently waiting for this driver just like many of you. I already have donated $20 to the effort. I was talking with someone who mentioned NDIS wrapper, a Linux utility that allows you to convert, or use, Windows' Wireless Drivers for Linux. Now, OS X is a different deal, but it has a lot in common with Unix (leopard does have a fully functional unix heart).

So I'm just curious if this process would work on getting the Intel Drivers working on Leopard? Don't go yelling, go about teaching, I'm curious if this process could work, and if not, I want to know why. Thanks!

[shd]

i have a question



and if we get an kext from any board that comes with osx, maybe if some with chipset intel, and we modify, like the sounds kext?


it is possible to make it functional ?

[Potto]

Hey there jalavoui!

I dont know if its something that i'm doing wrong but i've re-installed OS X about 4 times trying to get the drivers to work, I've used the iwi2200 and the iwi2200 svn version; however, i get the same results. I'm able to see the access points around my house (including mine). when i try to connect using NSGUI i get prompted for my wep key. After doing so i get a loading circle and then nothing happens. I've tried with the hex decimal option checked and uncheck. I've rebooted a few times and nothing.
I even noticed that after installing both versions of the driver, Network Preferences crashes (closes itself) within seconds of me trying to open it.

Any suggestions?

Will - It's been a while since you posted this, so I don't know if you resolved your issue. I have an Intel 2915abg card and used iwi2200 for my iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5 install. I had the same issues you listed -- I couldn't get the command line version to work for some reason, and when I used NSGUI to connect, it would sit with a loading circle with no success after entering my WEP password. I got the idea that perhaps it wasn't resolving an IP, and so opened a Terminal. While the nsgui attempted to connect, I typed at the command line: sudo ipconfig set en1 DHCP

Almost instantaneously, NSGUI connected with an IP address. I have had this working for a day or so -- so I haven't messed with it much. I am planning on starting with a Automation script, and going from there... I have to manually open nsgui, select my network, paste in my wep key, and drop to command prompt each time I boot my laptop.

Hope that helps you or anyone else with similar issues!

Regards,
Paul
