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

[Gerjan]

I think the network selecter is in this package (for the iwi 3945)too:

http://iwidarwin.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/...0.5/iwi3945.dmg

So get it from there and delete the rest.

[x4hu]

About 4965, is the driver under construction for 10.4 or its working for 10.4 and being built for 10.5 ? Confusion over there.

[FrodoBeutlin]

yes, the driver is under construction (for 10.4.X, 10.5.1, 10.5.2 ....)!

We must WAIT!

[voltbrendan]

I was curious about this so I downloaded this and installed it. I get the message "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button..." and after I do that, it still brings that message back up. Does anyone know how I can bypass this?

[Wayfarer247]

That is called a Kernel Panic. You need to uninstall the Driver to fix your computer, or you could do a complete reinstall. Don't think you want to do that. Look up how to uninstall the driver in the documentation.

[voltbrendan]

Heh actually, I just did a total reinstall because I was missing sound before too. Now I have sound and I'm back up. I have it plugged to the ethernet port. I can't wait till we can get this wireless to work!

[nickll9009]

What ethernet card are you using?

[voltbrendan]

Just the one that is in my HP Pavilion DV9000

iwi3945
if you have build it post the logs here

I build it on my D630, didn't get any errors, few warnings
didn't see the .dmg file so i copied the kext produced (Debug mode) to my /System/Library/Extension.
I got kernel panic so i removed it.
Is it the good way to install it ?
Didn't looked at the log sorry, but I can make an other try.

Try Kext Helper in the Applications folder to install the kext

hey , hi,

ive had sucess in installation of leopard via iatkos disk,, every thin was gud runnin ok,
i had installed an Nvinject Vedio Driver and other sound drivers,
so like after a day or 2, the system suddenly started responding slowly, actually very slow,
since then i did a complete reinstallations couple of times, but in vain, the system remained slow.


and now after installation of Nvinject of same version i get an Kernel Panic,

the mac drive isnt visible in Macdrive 7 in windows. i just get an partition which i cant acess. ( it was working for earlier install).

and how to uninstall an Particular Driver like ( nvinject) if we get Kernel Panic?

[ice96]

I Have got kernel panic too...Btw If u got kernel panic. You need to remow driver:1) Boot mac with -s2) /sbin/mount -uw / 3) cd /System/Library/Extensions4) rm -R iwi*5) exit

[XL64]

Try Kext Helper in the Applications folder to install the kext

That's what I did :s

[jalavoui]

i'll change a few things in the svn code for iwi3945
meanwhile can someone post the logs for last version?

done rel 640
TNW, can you check this?

[Bedi]

PLEASE!
Everybody who keeps asking when the driver will be ready: I'm shure the bright developers will let you know when the drivers are finished.

The productive thing for you is not to post those questions here, but to donate to the project so that we take away such hurdles from the developers.

Info on what drivers are stable etc (Including donation details) is easily found on the project homepage: http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/

/BE

PS: Jalavoui, maybe some more details on what you need the donations for would in crease them?

[new-MAC]

how can I use WEP for iwi2200? it gives me a BUS error..

[TNW]

Hello ,
one KP is left on the driver in ieee80211_if_add :

CODE

    }*/
    
    //FIXME: Kernel Panic herre !
    //list_add(&sdata->list, &local->sub_if_list);
    if (new_dev)
        *new_dev = ndev;

. This week and the next I have examination , so I will not work on the driver a lot.

But I can help you during those two weeks .

Bye.

[ice96]

Hello,
I want to ask is it way to load module without reboot for testing?

[XL64]

TNW, how do you debug this ?
Maybe I could help (not used to low level coding but...) but I hope you don't have to reboot every time you want to test a modification...
So I wanted to know what is your developpement environement, do you use an emulator with kaliway on it ?
Thanks for answers... If you have time

Hello.

I devellop the driver with Xcode . and I debug it with address given in the KP and IDA pro over crossover.
For instance:

KP on 0x21fa23de
Driver load on 0x21f97000

To find the bad instruction open the binarie in the "Content" directory of the kext with IDA and jump to:
0x21fa23de - 0x21f97000 - 0x1000(size of the kernel) = 0xa3de

Bye
