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

Hi

I am not sure if these log files are of any help, but I followed the instructions on how to get the logs.

First time I installed everything seemed fine. Now I get consistent kernel panics whenever I try to use nsGUI to turn on the wireless. I have a bg2200 and used the latest version for Leopard. I am running 10.5.1 version. The error log.rar file has the dmesg.txt, ioreg.txt and system.txt.

Thanks!

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!

I have bought a DLINK DWL-G122 (bundled with the MacOS X Driver for 10.4) .. I have installed it on a iATKos 10.5.1 and it works perfectly.It would work with 10.5.2 .

Now i will be able to work correctly on the 3945 driver

well, i don't know if any of you driver creators will find it interesting, but when i installed 4965 driver for my 3945 in xp, it worked with full performance recognized as 4965.

I'm pretty sure they know, because they say that when they develop a working 3945, modifying it to work with the 4965 should be a piece of cake.

Here's another post to thank you all for your efforts!

i bet you meant 4965
but thanks for notifying me anyway, i just wanted to help. ='(

[SupraIS300]

Yay!!!! I managed to get it to work. I completely uninstalled and reinstalled the driver.

One issue I had even when I got nsGUI to run was that it would not connect to my wireless router. It kept saying trying to get IP address. The trick there was stated earlier in that you need to add an ethernet adapter. I ignored this at first since I have an adapter already but you need to add another one. I don't see any difference between this second adapter and the first really but it worked!

The only issue I have now is getting the settings to stick. I always have to run nsGUI from the applications menu and manually switch on the card and connect and add the WEP key everytime. Does any one know of how to get the settings to be saved?

I am writing this with the wireless stuff all working woohoo!!

Thanks!

Hey,

(supral) Are you talking about the 3945 abg card? if right how did you make it working?

Otherwise, do you know if the driver's development is over? because on the iwi google website there are no news about it...

I also have a nvidia 7400 go... I still don't have a working driver? Can you help me?? Because i cannot use osx without a graphic car and wifi...

My laptop is vaio vgn c2z / b

thx !

[hypnotic]

if you take a look just a few previous messages up, you'll see he is talking about 2200 , not 3945.
and if you search in the form you can easily find where graphics/display card drivers for nvidia are talking.
sorry but this is thread for as you see : "Intel Wireless driver, Intel PRO/Wireless 2100/2915/2200/3945/4965 Driver for Mac OS X86"
don't be lazy!!

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

For me, at least, I get the BUS error with the command line
tool /Applications/networkSelector but the GUI app
/Applications/nsGUI.app/Contents/MacOS/nsGUI
works.

When you start the GUI app it appears to do nothing, but you
will get a new wireless icon on the top menu bar on the right
hand side. Click on it, open main window & set power on.
Select your network & enter your WEP key in the format
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

e.g. for WEP key 1a2b3c4d5f enter:

1a:2b:3c:4e:5f

Hope that helps,
Tony

Any chance that the ability to connect to a WPA secured network will be integrated into the next update for the 2200bg?

[xeongx]

Hello,
I would like to thank the person who made this driver for Mac OSX.
My Intel 2200BG works perfectly .
But there is one thing thats been bothering me.
Is there a way to have a network to connect automaticly, because it's kind of hard to enter my WEP password everytime to connect.

Thanks

[bmonkey]

is there any way to build the 4965 driver and testing it?
can i take the iwidarwin sourcecode and combine it with the iwlwifi-4965 linux source?
i have the hardwarde for testing.
the problem is, that no one of the iwidarwin devs has the posibility to test it, but you know how to build it.
can you do a quick tutorial, or give some directions? or is it a lot of work or a lot of knowlegde required for combining iwidarwin with iwlwifi-4965?
i would like to help

iwi2200 osx 10.4/10.5
iwi3945 osx 10.5

get teh svn code from
http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/

need someone to build from svn and post the .dmg for testing
the script for iwi3945 need to be changed to allow building iwi3945.dmg
please post logs using the getlogs.command

[spanakorizo]

i'll w8 for a .dmg file and i'll test cause i installed 10.5.2 again ,today in my laptop (3945ABG)
keep up the good work

[DarthShrine]

Hopefully the attached .dmg works.. I just changed the build script so that it would make the dmg, as it seemed like that was all that needed to be done.

I just installed, it didn't work, tried to repair disk permission & change permission of iwi3945.kext once more time. Finally, it got crash-grey-death. Boot safemode and remove iwi3945.kext, Mac works again.

[Chris_H]

jalavoui, I download all the 'iwi3945_new-osx10.5' source code today (26th March) from http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/ and built the attached iwi3945.kext.

On my Sony VAIO AR21S laptop (has built-in Intel PRO/100 VE & 3945ABG) running KALYWAY 10.5.2 the kext loads and shows the correct MAC address of my wifi card (as can be seen in the attached logs). Also loading the kext created a new connection/card in Preferences -> Network which shows up in a cable unplugged state ... but after sometime: 1 minute or 20 minutes I get a system crash.
(fyi: my wifi router was configured for WEP access at the time of the test)

I also tried removing the PRO/100 VE kext and deleting that interface and rebooting so only the iwi3945 was present but got the same behavior. iwi3945 loads ok (not sure if the logs show everything is ok with the link between the driver and card, but as I said it does report the MAC address correctly) and after sometime, which can be immediately or 20 minutes of the OS X running ok it suddenly crashes.

NOTE TO ALL: If you use the kext I attached you must know how to correct the permissions after you copy it to the extensions folder, and also how to boot in single user mode and be able to manually delete this kext, in case it causes crashes on boot after installation (like you should know how with any of these kexts, not just this one attached).

Hey guys, I gave both the .DMG a test and the .kext a test, no go...

When I booted with -v upon using the .DMG installation, it says it wasn't installed properly after you log off and log on again... and when you start leopard again, in -V, it scrolled a pattern of errors at a very fast rate and it just kept repeating in an infinite loop, so your .DMG is a no go. Had to remove it using -X

The .KEXT however, doesn't give you an error and I can still boot normally... however, it doesn't seem to do anything...
I installed it with KextHelper 0.7 so all the permissions were set properly, but it doesn't seem to do anything?

The .KEXT didn't seem to cause any harm...

I am using a Lenovo X61 Tablet FYI.

[Srap]

Yup it seemed to me that it was working at first (with the first .dmg) but it showed like an ethernet (proper mac add).
I'll test that later one.
