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

[@irBOrNE]

Hi guys, been out of the country and away from the project, but was neat to look through and catch up on everything. Re: 2200, I haven't had time yet to upgrade to Leopard, so if someone can build the latest Intel 2200 code jalavoui has released for 10.4 & 10.5, I'd be happy to test 10.4 first and post my logs / report if there's any difference on the Tx issue, and then can upgrade to 10.5 and do the same. Let me know.

Many thanks.

I just wanted to say that I have gotten IWI2200 working on Kalyway 10.5.1. Steps:

1. Install using installer from Google code site
2. Reboot.
3. If you get an error when you reboot saying "iwi2200.kext was improperly installed and could not be loaded" or something like that, it might be a permissions problem;Go the terminal and enter the following commands:
   
   
   CODE
   
   cd /System/Library/Extensions
   sudo chown -R root:wheel iwi2200.kext
   
   
   This should allow the module to be loaded. You can test it by entering
   
   
   CODE
   
   sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/iwi2200.kext
   
   
   If it doesn't load, look at the output, and figure it out I guess.
4. Start nsGUI and go to the icon right near the clock (little blue wavy things) and click Set Power On from the menu.
5. Wait a couple of seconds, and then go to the nsGUI menu and select your network from the list.
6. Try to visit a web page! For me, I had go into System Preferences>Network and create an Ethernet adapter and set it to DHCP before it started working.

That's the basic idea. If you can't figure it out, try applying more brainpower to the problem. If you still can't figure it out, you can PM or something I guess.

I have finally decided to install MacOSX 10.5 (x86) on my Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo U9200 Laptop (Intel 3945 ABGN) .. so i'm interested in testing the beta drivers ... i will try to find a good place to download Xcode and read/check sources codes and try to get it working.

Keep up the good work coders ! The community is growing up !

it always starts with "just wanted to say hi!" and nobody notices that we end up with another "count to 31k" thread.

What's wrong with french people ?

Ok, now downloading XCode 3.0

Ho ! a stupid question ... how to make a "#" (key combination) in osx86 ? xD

[XL64]

Activate the keyboard where you can clic (idon't know the name) in the language preference, it will show you I don't have my mac to see it at work :s

edit : the "#" is under the esc on my french keyboard (with shift)

Ah... moi non plus

...BTW GL for your test TNW

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

I just reboot one time and it took me several minutes (15-20) to get the kernel panic and remove the kext from the system... I have a problem wth my nvidia driver... Plus I have no camera so I have to copy the kernel panic... and I am not sure what part is important...
And then I don't have IDA and crossover....
So I don't think I can help :s

The part of the kp panic I copied if it can help :

Cpu 1 caller 0x001A8BED
Kernel Trap 0x535657e5
Backtrace Format - Frame
0x5b343d98

This part was key for me to get the card recognized ... thanks to this guy. Right now I am struggling with the nsGUI. In mode 1 (infrastructure mode), when I key in the WEP key, it just turns off the card. In Mode 2 (Ad Hoc mode) It says it is trying to aquire an IP address but just hangs there. In Mode 3 (can't remember what it is defined as), it doesn't work at all for me.

I think I read some where in this thread that there is a format for the WEP. I am using 128 bit WEP. Should I key in XX:XX:XX format?

Thanks to the developer. Be sure that you will receive some donation from me as soon as I get this one figured out.


EDIT: After rebooting, I get Kernel panics everytime I try to turn it on. I will try to provide logs.

Hi..

JUst wanna know is that any news for iwi3945ABG driver working on a 10.5.1 OSX??


Many thanks.

[spole]

Is there a version of iwi2200 where you are able to connect to wep and wpa secured networks?

[voltbrendan]

Yeah. I can't wait for the iwi3945ABG driver is working.. Without wireless is pretty terrible. I'm trying to find a USB wireless dongle to use but I can't find anywhere where anyone says there's one that works with 10.5.2.. If anyone here knows of one I can use for now until this driver is done being developed, let me know!
