thx for the latest svn...
after building the kext and installing it i get this msg

kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/iwi3945.kext has problems:
Missing dependencies:
{
"com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily" =
"A valid compatible version of this dependency cannot be found"
"com.apple.iokit.IO80211Family" =
"This dependency has dependencies that cannot be resolved"
}

how can i resolve this?
i didn't have it on the previous code

[revolt_team]

my logs whit the last svn

loads ok sometimes ...
in the network preferences it is show how a ethernet card
see the pict ... alt(comand)+shift+4 (to take it)



but when i try to put it on on whit network selector nothing is happen

I've compiled and tested the newest revision 654. But my comp hangs after a while, grey-screen-of-death...
In any case, my MAC address is detected correctly and my logs are attached!

[Hacktrix2006]

i'm getting Grey screen of death too just after the login windows shows. Is this a bug i wonder

[jalavoui]

iwi3945

i hope you're building the .dmg correctly
if the driver gives a kernel panic we must know where it is so we can fix it
to do so:
reboot
press F8
type -s
type sh /etc/rc
wait for the driver load
see if the driver angs
if not
call networkselector
try option 1 a few times until it crashes
post the kernel panic picture
if you can't call the networkselector (because of seeing to many log messages) reboot until the driver crashes - them post the kp picture

i don't expect to have the driver receiving/transfer packets so soon but
it is expected to start scanning for neworks

[Hacktrix2006]

will give it a try once i debricked the OS

[TNW]

I posted a version with a start of the scan but it isn't working at this moment:

Maybe it is a problem of scan configuration.



To properly start the driver you need to put the card off and on is you haven't got this log in dmesg:

kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/iwi3945.kext has problems:
Missing dependencies:

how can i resolve this?
i didn't have it on the previous code build....
finally when i run on efi this happens???
any one can help with this?

[SupraIS300]

I was wondering if one of the experts may be able to help out here. I am running Kalyway 10.5.1 on a Compaq nw8240 with an Intel 2200 Pro wireless card. I notice a couple of things:

1. If you leave the wireless on in Windows and then run OSX and try to set Power to ON, it Kernel Panics (KP) every time. So I always make sure it is turned off after exiting windows. I can work around this.

2. Every time I boot and set Power to ON the nsGUI hangs. I can't kill the process at all. If I log out and log back in again and set Power ON then it often works.

3. If it KPs once (even when the wireless was off after windows), it will always KP until I change mode to mode 2 (Monitor) and then switch back to mode 0 (Normal) to connect.

Any help would be appreciated. I made some logs before and posted them. I can post more if it helps.

Thanks!

[SaBuJo]

sorry ... networkselector compiled in the same hackintosh



how i make the logs ...?

put the .kext and the networkselector in the same dir
go to these dir

sudo rm -f dmesg.txt
sudo rm -f system.txt
sudo rm -f ioreg.txt
sudo dmesg > dmesg.txt
sudo cat /var/log/system.log > system.txt
sudo ioreg -w 0 > ioreg.txt

sudo chown -R root:wheel iwi3945.kext
sudo chmod -R 755 iwi3945.kext

sudo kextload -i iwi3945.kext

then ...
if i am doing something wrong please, tell me ...

./networkselector


then ... u know

This driver don't work for me!

Extension is loaded, interface is created enc1 but AirPort don't work, and I see a message cable disconected in new adapter. Mac freeze after some time.

I'm using 10.5.2 Kalyway combo update and before install, update AirPort Utility 5.3.1.

My files before and after install.


I create a litle script for generate logs (logiwi3945.sh).

Thanks for any help with this problem.

[Hacktrix2006]

TNW,
i'm getting a bit upset with all the wrong logs and wrong kext .dmg builds
can you change the svn build script to allow building the .dmg
can you place iwi3945.dmg on the svn tree

the svn tree as missing folders - you can't build iwi3945.dmg without them
i'll fix that - nop it's all ok.

the build script is also ok

Hacktrix2006,
you only need the folder iwi3945_new-osx10.5
if the .dmg fails to build just press "build" and it will work

thanks

Xcode 3.0 won't even open the project files. it says it can't peruge the files or something like that

guys my 3945 turns on by the switch when in OSX on my acer aspire 5634wlmi

I recetly bought a dell 1390 tho to replace it... but I cant switch it on! the switch doesnt alow me to turn it on in mac or windows

[Hacktrix2006]

Can someone send me a zipped version of the 10.5 iwi3945 snv source code to hacktrix2006@live.com just incase its something to do with my net connection! Thanks

[@irBOrNE]

Hi guys, I am unable to get any of the most recent posted iwi2200 DMG to install correctly. Would someone mind rebuilding jalavoui's latest source code for both 10.4 & 10.5? TMW or anyone who knows how to do this? Thx much...

[Hacktrix2006]

I've downloaded all the files for the iwi3945 but Xcode 3.0 wont open the project files

[Sousuke]

I don't know whether it's just me - I'm not able to compile the iwi3945 rev 656 source. xcode complains about a non-static definition after a static declaration. I've attached a "fix" for those, who got the same problems like me. (Just rename the ".c.txt"-extension to ".c" and replace it in the sourcetree "iwi3945_new-osx10.5/", or alternatively use the attached patch. )

Ok back to topic!
I've tested the kext. It's behaviour is nearly same as before.
- After having the kext loaded, the console outputs some debug messages.
- Using networkSelector, I could turn on/off the card a few times. Sometimes it just displays few debug messages letting me test a bit further. Other times it floods the terminal with zillion messages. (Could make one screenshot of it, in hope it can be of use?)
- After a while the kernel crashes, usually after a few seconds/minutes.

Strange enough my system log is empty... well in any case here are my bits of logs and one kp screenshot!

Another thing I've noticed just now while rebooting my debian, this message has shown up:

CODE

ipw3945: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
ipw3945: Microcode SW error detected.  Restarting.
