Are you two only communicating through these forums?

Hello!!
i found something today. my wireless card works with the intel driver which supports 3945 mini pci intel card. but today i open my laptop and i see it doesn't have intell mark on it .so i search more . i figure out that it's broadcom 802.11b/g .so it should work with bcm43xx. so i tried it but there was no results . no card was configured .

my question is if this driver is ready would it work on my wireless card . since it does work with the intel driver 3945? thanks.

I've downloaded the last svn and try to load the "loadable" extention.

I've posted the dmesg log if it could help
Mac adress is still at 0xff...

at this time we don't need logs on the driver.
once the rx/tx code is finished we'll upload a version for testing.
if you're using xcode and found bugs in the source code please post it here so we can fix it

TNW,
can you upload your last svn version?
some code is missing - i think i can finish it

[TNW]

I commited my last version.

Maybe you should speak with a messenger

[Megnus]

Seriously, I'm in love with you

Sorry, j've a intel pro wireless 4965 and j have installed leopard.
Leopard is 10.5.1. and the driver 4965 is only for 10.4
J have installed a 4965 for 10.4 on 10.5.1 and my computer in stop for ever.
This problem is for the incompatible with 4965 for 10.4
For this j wont the version for 10.5.1

Thenk's......................


Sorry for my english

If that was a spin off my hidden suggestion of you Two, (TNW and jalavoui) talking over IM or IRC or some other chat room too more effectively code this, then I am all for it! Or if not, then you now know my suggestion. I think it would help it out, communication is the key for everything.

Also, for people who are interested in the release, all I can say is it will come when it comes. Don't bug them for a release time, they will tell us when we can expect it. For now, check the beginning of this thread and here.

TNW and jalavoui, you guys are doing excellent! The community is here for you, just tell us what you need!

Hello there jalavoui,

I have xcode but have no experience with it ... i did made today some tests and got this [attachment=23649:iwi3945_...d_errors.rtf]errors on building the kext. What should i follow in order to build a good kext and waht of the source code to enable on building the kext?
How can i update the source code, cause now i am not using a god way to do that ... lol
This are the errors for the airport code [attachment=23650:iwi3945_...d_errors.rtf]

Cheers

iwi3945 rel 632
bugs for TNW, Symuc to fix
the driver logs will show what is missing - i'll come back after you check the code

[TNW]

Hi,
I had a big problem with my internet provider ...
I'm going to start the fix now.

[edit]
I'm going to sleep it's 1:20 AM herre and I must be woken up at 06:45 AM.
I commited a version with a KP on load

[scottyn]

ZOMG its almost done??? CANT WAIT! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

[jalavoui]

iwi3945
i'll commit more code to the svn tree - please wait...

done rel 634
station code. ieee80211_ alloc / register_hw
the driver as a problem in this functions and in station code
you'll need to test it

TNW,
can you post the system.log?

maybe this can fix the timer problems: - the station code depends on this

//keep k_compat.h
#define add_timer(t) IOPCCardAddTimer(t)
#define del_timer(t) IOPCCardDeleteTimer(t)
#define mod_timer(a, do { del_timer(a); (a)->expires = (; add_timer(a); } while (0)
//k_compat.h - just delete other definitions from compatibility.h/cpp

void init_timer(struct timer_list *timer) {
timer=(struct timer_list*)IOMalloc(sizeof(struct timer_list*));
}
int del_timer_sync(struct timer_list *timer) {
del_timer(timer);
IOFree(timer);//maybe not
}
i think you need to add a ref to IOPCCardFamily in info.plist of iwi3945.kext to use it
if none of this work you can try to use functions from clock.h...

[TNW]

[jalavoui]

looks like the bugs in __ieee80211_rx() are from station code
hope you can fix it. i thing the bug starts in ieee80211_if_add()
better start checking at ieee80211_alloc_hw() - you'll need this
http://lxr.oss.org.cn/source/drivers/net/n...t.c?a=sparc#L73
if IEEE80211_DEV_TO_SUB_IF() returns NULL or invalid

[TNW]

Ok I added the support for add_timer ,
and I added some Debug:

I really think you two should hop in MSN, or AIM, or Gtalk, or IRC, or SOMETHING. I dunno, you are doing excellent work, and keep it up, but the forum just seems to be a slow way to talk.

Keep us updated! What are you working on now? How close is it to being done? What's happening?

[internetadam4657]

yea an update would be great! i don't contribute much since i am new to the mac world but i have a "hac pro" downstairs that i built not too long ago and i would love to take my dv2500t down the "hacbook pro" route but the 4965 wireless card is holding me back. i installed on my laptop when testing the desktop and my bt and lcd worked OOB but i got a kernel panic when trying to install the drivers (without reading the directions btw)
