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

[ostaryus1]

Hi i am using the 4965agn. I have compiled the latest svn and network selector. I installed the kext perfectly fine, no kernel panics. Appears to load up in console etc. Using network selector it finds my open network, i tell it to associate but nothing happens? No ip address is got (if how or where it says it is??), the adapter doesnt show up in system prefs/network ? And nothing loads in safari.....console is saying loads of stuff with rx_Beacons etc......

Any for me or anything i can help by doing? thanks

I have exactly the same problem. After installing iwi4965 a new ethernet card is listed in network. It says that the model is 4965 agn so it is wireless card but it seems to be ethernet card. May be I did something wrong. I use netwrok selector but it only lists the wireless netwroks and cannot connect even unsecure ones. I guess a little point is missing in this driver.

My 3945 is almost working. It shows up as ethernet 2. And when I run the network selector, it detects my network. Unfortunately, when I type the number for my network, it then says its attempting to associate but then goes back to the main screen without actually connecting. To clear things up, my network has no encryption or security.

I'd love to help the iwifi cause. How do I uninstall the iwifi driver so that I can try a clean install and post a log here?

iwi3945 on Leopard 10.5.7

After a few reboots it finally finds and tries to associate with my unsecured access point,
but fails.

Thanks for you hard work and I hope my logs help you.

iwi3945 rel 1216
authentication fix
the driver is very close to start working...

please post your comments with system.log
networkselector is disabled on this release - don't ask about it

iwi4965
wait until 3945 start to work

[sp00ge]

I've attached my system.log from iwi3945 rel 1216

The driver seems to be trying to connect to a WEP encrypted access point that is quite a distance away and is ignoring my unsecure access point located very close.

Cheers

Hi. I want to provide a system log to help with the development of the 3945 driver. But I need to know how to uninstall it first. Do I simply delete the kext?

Please find the attached logs of your latest release.. one update.. it dint detect a new interface but a weird thing happened.. it was trying to you my onboard ethernet adapter instead of adding a new ethernet adapter.. ataching the system logs and the screenshot for you reference..

Hi there,

I am a complete n00b to this, but somehow managed to loadkext the driver and log what happens.
I see the same thing in network-window as the guy in the previous post.
In the log I saw some interaction with airport (check the log), however nothing visible in airport.
Otherwise network selector seems to be sort of disabled - whatever.

Hth..
Oh yeah, VAIO TZ21VN/X, iPC 10.5.5 webcam and wireless missing, rest OK, dualboot with nlite.d XP

I installed the 4965 drivers for my Toshiba Equium U400, but same problem as others. Wouldnt reboot so I had to remove the kexts and start again.

I'm really desperate to get wireless working. Is there a working USB wireless adapter that I can buy? If so, which one do I go for? I'm pretty ignorant on this so any advice appreciated (and yes I have searched here before asking).

Thanks

Thanks for the effort, I have tested the code, and it panics in install, and when rebooting it panics too. "Screenshot" attached.

Good luck!

I have just start the macside of the computer again due to your great work. kernel panic during startup for also.

I will try an another version.

[alvaroliva]

Trying the 1217:
No panics, but no connections either...
When using the 1216 sometimes I've got a connection (ethernet or ethernet2) but safari loads nothing, in this new one I've tried more than 15 reboots and got no connections.

I hope the log helps...

I have a 3945 card that i'm not using. I can send it to you, if you can use it. Please tell me.
I don't know if you have the hardware to support it, it's just that i want to support your develepment.

Bye

[eBrY]

I made that suggestion of Javouli obtaining the hardware a couple of posts ago. Thank you for potentially donating the hardware needed by Jalavoui to make quicker developments, hope this is something he can use. By the way, how are some of you testing these latest builds of the driver actually able to get the 3945 to respond? On my laptop there is a green LED that lights up when there is a driver when starting Windows OS. How come my LED still doesn't light up indicating any kind of provision/enabled status when I load up OS X? And when I go to the Ethernet section on my OS X network preferences, theres nothing I can do to get it to assign an IP address/connect to the router etc. and I haven't bothered to initiate my actual LAN device, even though it supposedly works with Mac OSX, I just never plug cables into my laptop. But I will try to get that enabled, and use OSX since I found it to be of no use to me without any Internet connection. Please advise about how to get the wireless to some how half work, because I haven't even got that far yet, thanks.

Hi,

I installed 4965 version.Networkselector pops up but no wireless networks shown. NO kernel panics.MY system log is attached if its helpful. I have a expresscard wireless card also attached to computer.SO the mac address you might see will be the expresscard.
